I consider myself a polite, careful driver but here are a few spots I have probably caused unintentional anger in others (my apologies):
< any of the diagonal spaces on Maplewood ave where it's impossible to see while backing out
< intersection of Maplewood/Jefferson..Jefferson has no stop signs...not sure everyone knows
< Left turn off of Baker onto Maplewood ave.

I whole heartedly agree. People get so mad when you are backing out of those spots. Hello??? Can you see oncoming cars? Because I sure can't!

The best way to be able to see is to drive a really tall SUV. :-) The same problem exists at the train station. I usually park my Protege in the spots to the right where parking is nose to tale so I have a fighting chance of getting out in one piece.

I also find if I am going north on MW Avenue approaching Baker, people going east on Baker tend to forget oncoming traffic on MW Ave. has the right of way there

If someone has a problem with one of the cars backing out...they were probably going too fast on Maplewood Ave. It's narrow, full of pedestrians jay-walking, and cars backing out. Go SLOOWWWLY.
