When 2 or more cars pull up to an intersection with stop signs and each driver waits for the other person to make the first move though the intersection.

when two cars disregard the right-of-way guidelines they were supposed learn from a driver's manual when they were 16, resulting in both cars to remain motionless at an intersection assuming the other car will make the first move. Usually after about 1o seconds both cars will go at the same time which leads to a firestorm of profanity and/or an accident.

A four-way stop intersection.

It is the phenomenon of four cars, almost always driven by Chinese women or old men, coming to a confusing stop at an all way stop sign at the same time. Each driver, engulfed in terror, will tentatively drive forward at the same time until they see the other three drivers do the same. At this point all four drivers simultaneously slam on their brakes. This act will be repeated several times until all four cars are wedged together in the middle of the intersection.
