>2 seconds adds up and eventually you've wasted an entire day being a faggot that you'll never get back.
Holy shit i may disagree with you but even I can admit I lost
Be honest, how many of you don't stop completely at these?
Here it seems like theres a balance between keeping fellow motorists happy, thereby ensuring proper flow of traffic, or obeying the law. i.e. when people honk for stopping at intersections, or tailgate you when youre going 5 over the speed limit already.
Honking at me for actually a stop sign is a sure way to get me to triple check cross traffic, contemplate existence and then check again before rolling slowly away keeping harshly to the exact speed limit and repeating at the next intersection.
Pretty sure I'd soon be dead from road rage if I lived whereever you do.
I blow my neighborhood sign when on the biku because it's better than stopping usually, there is clear visibility and it's a right onto a highway.
Otherwise the only stop signs I'm not a boy scout at are unofficial parking lot signs at crosswalks and shit. I just don't consider them legal stopsigns.
Here in the UK, stop signs are only put where appropriate, so I stop at them. Not because I care about the sign, but because I feel unsafe rolling into a blind junction.
I understand that in North America you have these put everywhere, even on junctions with good visibility, so I don't blame you for blowing through them.
>North America
North America is our dad, just call us America.
here in vancouver? people barely stop for a red light
The cops don't even bother unless they are doing an emphasis payroll, I mean, patrol for it. So what if you roll another five inches before it's safe to cross? You were going to inch forward to see better anyways. Stopping all movement regardless of the situation before that is unnecessary for safety.
All of them except the ones at strip malls where's there's one every 10 feet in front of every store entrance. I slowly roll through those unless there's someone crossing.
i stop completely even though it's a waste of time and shitty for both wear and tear and fuel economy, because i'm irrationally terrified of getting a ticket.
