I hate people who make complete stops at stop signs when there’s no cars coming in any direction. Thoughts?

Question

Just knock it off. You don’t have to do that. Just look real quick, and keep it moving. It’s like these people need someone to think for them. Learn to think for yourself

In the UK, you stop at Stop signs, sort of in the name, with Give Way signs, yeah you can keep rolling if it’s clear.

Stop signs tend to be there for a reason, blind bends, fast traffic, a road with a high level of motorbikes using it.

how quickly does a car doing 60 mph appear when you can see 40 feet of road, when the road is not flat but has a dip about 50 feet away.

It is about keeping all road users safe, irrespective of their age, driving ability, the type of vehicle they are driving.

then there is the turning on to the new road, if your car cannot hit 60 mph in under 5 seconds, and there is traffic doing 60mph plus, you now become an arse for slowing down traffic.

Have to disagree. You assume that you ALWAYS with absolute perfection know when another car is coming - not to mention pedestrians, especially small children and the like.

You only need to be wrong once to have bad things happen. Grant the odds may be in your favor most of the time, but as I say, you only need to be wrong once.

As the old saw has it, better safe than sorry. Besides, stopping for a few seconds - which is what it comes down to - is hardly a major trauma in your life.

Disagree, lol. My friend got a ticket for rolling. Nothing wrong with coming to a complete stop. It only adds like 5 more secs the most. Not a big deal. It’s called being a responsible driver.

There could defo be something in a blind spot or something you don't notice. Plus it is the law which is there for a reason. If a cop see's you good luck with that fine.

Go for it if you like taking chances with your life. Since you like taking risk go for no seat belts, holding your cell and texting, heck with red lights, pass stop school buses, the blinking lights warning school ahead, speed limits, drink and drive, etc. Do you realize I hate obnoxious drivers like you.

EmmaMary · Answer

Here in the UK it's mandatory to Stop. Let's hope you never kill anyone with your absolutely appalling and disgusting attitude.

RainbowMarinade · Answer

So you can’t understand why people still obey the law when nobody is watching?  This is difficult for you?

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Not sure where you are, but here in the UK that would quality as a fail on the driving test.. Why do you suppose that's a fail. hmm?

ShellyB · Answer

You would hate riding with me!! I stop and look both ways even if nobody else is around because I am paranoid of missing something. I also drive the speed limit, maybe that would also drive you crazy! I don’t really like driving.

MsProsperity · Answer

My boyfriend hates it also, it’s kinda annoying if you’re in a hurry

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Yeah. Obeying the law is bullshit! Society would be way better if nobody obeyed any law ever!

Apple1996 · Answer

The cali rolling stop is illegal lol. I recommend you always fully stop. Especially if a cop might be around 😆

NaultD · Answer

It's not about cars. It's for children on bikes crossing who are smaller than cars and who also just jump out from anywhere. This is a 20 mph speed limit territory, not 45 mph with stop lights.

slatyb · Answer

They are the same people who drive the speed limit.  Don't "look real quick". You need to slow to a near stop, particularly in urban areas.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I can always pass them on one side or the other :D Why would I 'hate' someone who depends on rules to stick by when he's lacking own decision-making skills.

BlissfullyCurSed · Answer

I mean what could happen at worst. Maybe... you might accidentally kill someone.

exitseven · Answer

I know cops that love to hide out near stop signs and write tickets for people That do a "Rolling stop" I almost always come to a full stop

Syntosi · Answer

Rules are rules, I am not going to stop following them just because it annoys you personally.

Juxtapose · Answer

Rolling stops are illegal and that small bit of laziness could cost you a ticket or even have you kill somebody's pet or kid.

OtterMan68 · Answer

some cops are hiding. Also, you never know Better to be safe than sorry, and what does it cost 2 seconds?

DrPepper12 · Answer

COMPLETELY AGREE!!! I expect you to roll through it like a normal person!! Full stops are more dangerous I think cuz you don't expect it!!

Gospeedracer · Answer

I don't hate the people because it'd the law and you aren't going to pay thier fine. Hate the game not the player.

shortster · Answer

Rules are made to be followed. Patient is a virtue. If you can't wait half a second for me to follow the rules; then you have a problem.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Yes, we DO have to do that; it's the law.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

The law says you stop regardless.
