Stopping when you shouldn’t is not driving cautiously, it is driving dangerously in disguise. Drive the way everyone expects you to or you will cause accidents.
They didn’t say they would yield, just take slightly more time to make the appropriate checks. And not sure about your car, but most have lights that indicate what they’re doing (slowing/stopping and signaling); which a cautious driver would likely use more effectively than I would assume someone who just drives how they think other people are expecting them to would.
Being cautious is correct. Being unpredictable because you’re driving abnormally is super dangerous.
The reason we have a driving system is so that everyone knows that to expect from everyone else. If you operate outside of that system you’re a danger to yourself and everyone else.
Assuming binary options of cautiousness (either you can be cautious or not) and only one being correct, ‘being cautious is correct’ is equivalent to NOT ‘being cautious is incorrect’. Which is what I said.
It’s not a binary option. It’s a spectrum. You need to be cautious while driving, which is correct. You CAN be TOO cautious, which is in itself incorrect.
If you think being cautious is incorrect then you don’t know what driving incorrectly means.

Nothing says safety like being unpredictably cautious
And there’s literally only one car to keep in mind, so it’s way less problematic than a traditional 4-way intersection.

No… It’s not
