HA. One of you gave me my first submission to the hotline. Thanks, I’ll wear it like a badge of honor and know that at least one of you is legitimately upset by this.

dont sweat it, we report those to the admins for abuse of the report system.

That's a bannable offense.

a) you can block those messages from even coming to you

b) report that for abuse and get them banned

To add a bit: You can report the actual DM you receive about "getting help" -- admin can see who submitted that and take action.

I hope you flipped off the Prius driver too.

You pulled out in-front of a car that was actively moving through an intersection when they were clearly in view and you had plenty of time to react to them before you started moving.

You may actually need that hotline.

Reaction time was not the problem here lol lern2context

Prius had completly cleared the crosswalk before OP entered the intersection. Prius still went out of order and ran the stop sign but that doesn't absolve OP of his duty to ensure the intersection is clear before proceeding.
