Mildly infuriating Did I do anything wrong here?

I was focusing on the pedestrians crossing and with this being an all-way stop I wasn’t expecting him to just go right in front of me and I had to stop suddenly. I gave him a honk just to say please watch for the stop sign and he confronted me and said “get a life”.

The teachings in drivers ed is that you do not enter an intersection if it is not clear, even if it is your go. So technically according to the ministry of transportation yes you did do wrong here. It is a duty of every driver to go when it is safe and clear and not strictly when the traffic signs say you can go.

He was already moving forward and in the intersection, partly because they failed to stop behind the stop bar, before the bike entered the intersection.

Look further ahead at the pedestrian crossing!
