I drive small cars. A minivan is like trying to steer a boat to me. If I had gone first, I'd have definitely hit the guy. Plus, the roads are really narrow out here as well as the fact that I would have to drive forward then turn left to make this particular turn. (This is also an intersection where the stop signs are almost always ignored, for some reason)
Make a little more sense now?
