Rules that make me feel stupid I often travel for my job. In my last travel to USA I rent a car. obviously the transit rules are different. I try to repect these rules in my country and of course, much more in others countries. I particularly respect the rules because I must do, because I am a foreigner, because I don't want an expensive fine and because I don't want bureaucratic problems. There is a very extrange rule for me, is called "Stop 4 way" and It mean "required to come to a full stop before the crosswalk or stop line" Well, I understand we prevent accidents, but believe me, for me, full stop in my car, 2 a.m in a quiet Neighborhood, with absolutely no one around is too much and make me feel stupid....

Rules that make me feel stupid

I often travel for my job. On my last trip to the USA I rented a car. Obviously the traffic rules are different. I try to repect these rules in my country and, of course, much more in others countries.
I particularly respect the rules because I must, I am a foreigner, I don't want an expensive fine, and I don't want bureaucratic problems. <- You have a series here so only one 'because' is needed for the whole list of reasons.
There is a rule that seems very strange to me called a "4 way stop". It means "required to come to a full stop before the crosswalk or stop line". Well, I understand we prevent accidents, but believe me, for me, full stop in my car at 2 a.m in a quiet neighborhood, with absolutely no one around is too much and makes me feel stupid.

Very good job! So what were you doing at 2:00 AM? :-)

I particularly respect the rules because I must do so, because I am a foreigner, because I don't want an expensive fine and because I don't want bureaucratic problems.

Great job! Not any really big errors! And I think it's a stupid rule as well!

I think it is more of a guideline. No one stops at 2am. I have been driving on the left and am amazed I have not killed anyone.
