Question about STOP signs

Stop signs are just a suggestion.

Could you possibly come up with a more boring trolling topic?

This is a serious matter. You will understand when you are old enough to drive.

If those few seconds are so precious to you, just leave your house five minutes earlier. Stop at the stop signs like everyone else.

Stop at the line.

You make the dumbest threads here. You may actually be worse than jamin.

But to your question, use common sense. What is the purpose of the stop sign? It's for each car to make complete stop before entering the intersection to look so you don't crash into another car. It doesn't matter if the car in front stopped crossing the line. You still have to make a complete stop before its your turn to go.

1. I forgive you.

2. That is kind of what I thought… I wonder if that would hold up in court?

Depends on your state and the actual vehicle code section's wording. Look up yours by doing this:

1. Open a web browser;

2. Surf to Google.com;

3. Find the open text field in the middle of the page;

4. Type in the following (without quotation marks): "Text of (insert your state's name here) stop sign law;

5. Read the results;

6. Feel enlightened and accomplished by doing something yourself without asking millions (okay, Jamin and 12 others) to do something for you.

You must come to the line and stop again.

Pull your planned maneuver with a cop behind you and see how expensive the ticket is

Sort of depends on the cop. Watch how many of them obey the law. Most exceed the speed limit and do not come to complete stop either.

It's really my main beef with them, not the job they otherwise do. Just think they should set the example, not the exception.

My State: "...shall stop at a clearly marked stop line..."

So, now we just need to determine the definition of "at".

The day cannot come soon enough when we have robotic cops and supercomputers for judges.

This is an interesting question. Whenever a car in front of me is clearly past the stop sign, and I am stopped right at the line, I do not pull forward an inch or two just to stop again.

The car in front of you pulls just over the line and comes to a complete stop. You come to a complete stop behind the car (and behind the line, obviously). Do you then have to pull forward to the line and stop again? Or does that stop count, assuming there is no cross traffic?

I have a lot to do during the day, and saving those few seconds could really help me out.

the law is you have to come to a complete stop when you are the front car at the stop sign with no cars in front of you. If you don't do this, it is possible to get a ticket.

Please be nice to Rojo. He is running royalty after all. Plus, he has been forced by his better half to live in the anus of the USA (aka Baltimore, MD)....I honestly just feel bad for him.

Save time, quit trolling.

This is not an interesting question. Nobody even thinks about this kind of stuff except the kids who chew on the seat of their not so long school bus.
