She got off...

I was a wreck and he was swearing at me, but when I analyzed it, he did the same thing drivers here do. Don't use signals at all. When I am at a 4 way stop on my bike and stopped, I keep wagging my finger, especially if I am turning left. My friends say I look like a nagging schoolteacher, but hey, since I used to be one of those, I don't care.

Signal, signal, signal! I absolutely always do at a four-way stop even if it's clearly my turn. You're absolutely right to do this. I always assume that no one sees me and am pleasantly surprised when they do!

Jobob, that must have been really scary. Thank the gods you didn't hit him. There are clearly situations in which seeing a cyclist is nearly impossible, and that was one of them. But it wouldn't have changed how you would have felt if you'd collided.
