be honest now...do you make a complete stop ...

[pinkstars]

I do stop! That''s because I''m terrified of getting a ticket though.
Although, something is wrong with my brakes and is making it difficult for me to stop so I guess I need to get that checked out.

Of course, always. I can only control my actions behind the wheel...no one elses....so I make an effort to drive as safely as possible to avoid accidents--defensive driving is what we called it in Drivers Ed.

Ditto.

 

[tlh]

yes. Then I look both ways, and look again. I find that 3rd look someone is always flying by when they shouldn''t be.

 

[snlee]

Yes, always.

 

[Kaleigh]

Yes, I always come to a full stop. I got a ticket once for not doing so, and learned my lesson.

 

[dianne]

I always do. In fact, I was rear-ended once because the guy behind me said he thought I was going to run the stop sign (no idea why he thought that) and he was going to run it, too. So, he just kept looking to the left for traffic and not at me and hit me. Go figure...

don''t worry ladies...male cops don''t hand out tickets to female drivers.

At most stop signs I do, but at some I definitely don''t. Like the ones in our parking lot, and the ones on the street right outside the parking lot when I''m going to work at 7 in the morning. But on the way home from work, there is a LOT more traffic, so I completely stop, it''s just that in the morning, I can see for miles that I''m the only one on the road.

 

[Imdanny]

Yes.

Yes, ALWAYS. I grew up with my dad telling me, ''The stupidest ticket you can get is running a stop sign. You''re already slowing down, why not just stop?!?''

wise advice! I always stop. it pisses people in my neighbor hood off. Also i always slow down for cross walks.

Haha... the oxymoron of the day is "rolling stop"

I''ll be honest...

Most of the time, but not always. If it''s a super wide intersection with a four-way stop sign, and I have a good clear peripheral view, I *may* come to a rolling stop. Two way stopsigns- ALWAYS complete stops, look 2 or 3 times. Same applies to a four-way stopsign on a tight little intersection.
