Stopping to let people in of the driver's own volition.

Don't be nice. Be lawful. Same goes for when I have a stop sign on my bike and the cross traffic does not. Without fail, someone will see me on a bike at a stop sign when they have the right of way, and stop and wave me on. In Idaho the law states that bicycles can treat stop signs as yield signs, but if there is traffic in the intersection without guidance to stop, cyclists must treat the stop sign as an actual stop sign. If you stop to be nice, you're just being dangerous. Follow the rules of the road. If you don't know them, learn them. It's gotten to the point that I'll just look at the car and refuse to go. Follow the law.

Yes, another irony of incompetence. Instead of being over-triggered, they want to be the nice guy...again, sacrificing efficiency in the system that can never be regained.
