As long as they are not causing further traffic issues by not being predictable when yielding right of way when they don't need to.

Predictable and cautious is far better than slow and courteous.

I love people in traffic thanking me, even if they had the right of way.

Happend to me this morning: I had to stop behind a parked car in my lane to let the guy in his lane go first past, he thanked me although I just followed the rules and it instantly put a smile on my face.

Wait he didn't get out to give you a handy?

Not at that specific time, no.

Is that how he skips stop signs?

If two people arrive at a 4 way stop simultaneously the right-most person is supposed to go.

Don't be nice, be predictable.

Slow and Curteous: Tokyo Grip

Someone more clever than me can make a joke with that, I was picturing some kind of super polite tire salesman who primarily deals in snow tires.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Slow and Courteous: 10-and-2 Grip
