I live on a street with a lot of them... For the past year.. I have speed up and down pretty reluctant to come to full stops at all of them. It finally caught up to me today when johnny law was all up in my rearview.. Mr officer sent his lady to make sure the coast was clear then he approaches and asks me all types of questions... where am I headed? "to work.." Where do you work? and it goes on and on..and on... Basically I am hating on traffic tickets.. anyone know how much I am lookin at for the fine.. not stoping at a stop sign... shit... post you beef with traffic violations..

That's why they are there.
I hate people behind me who act like I stopped "for them"
and just ride my bumper through the stop sign. Losers.
I live in a quiet neighborhood, with narrow streets and lots of kids. People are constantly running the stop sign outside my house. One day I'm going to sit out there with a box of rocks and just start throwing them at cars that don't stop.
When i was about 17 or so i was thinking of rolling through this one stop sign, but i decided not to. No lie a car full of kids my age came barrelling down this little hill, running right through, no lights on. i'd have gotten clipped or t-boned for sure. i've been much more cautious since.
...and i just realized that was almost a decade ago. Wow.
YOU KNOW WHATS WORSE THAN A TICKET...KILLING A LITTLE KID. DON'T SMOKE WEED AND GO TO THE DRIVE UP WINDOW. AND FOR GODS SAKE STOP AT FUCKING STOP SIGNS.
I would pay to see that.
I got stopped once cause My car was about a foot over the first pedestrian line at 2 in the morning, there was no auto traffic at the time beside me and the cop and there damn sure wasn't any foot traffic. I thought dude was following the letter of the law a little too closely. Luckily he let me go with a warning
I HATE folls who put my life at risk because they are in a hurry to get to their job they hate, or to fight in line at the grocery store...
which brings up my next point: SLOW THE FUCK DOWN IN PARKING LOTS, AND DON'T COME IN MY LANE TO AVOID THE SPEEDBUMPS, YOU FUCKING ASSBAG.
let's get some fuckin' FRENCH TOAST!
i hope none of y'all that hatt crazy drivers ever come to Michigan, because it's like the Daytona 500 every day on the roads up here...
WHAT!?! $250!!!!!was this for just the stop sign or the endorsement as well?
And to Hammertime, you think Michigan is wild, try driving in Milwaukee, drunk-driving capital of the nation (with high insurance rates to match ). I saw an accident during rush hour (AM) in which one car was flipped over, with a metal light pole knocked down in the street. Driving here is terrifying on the daily.

I think the actual law, such as it is, is that the person on the right has right of way, but in application, it's based on who is going to be the nice person and let the other one go first.
Growing up in Connecticut, the stop sign capital of the world, helped me master the art of the rolling stop. You slow down, sure, and do a scan to make sure the intersection is clear, but you shouldn't have to drop into first gear.
I didn't understand this part.
By the way all you have to do when you get pulled over is flash one of your many PBA cards or your Detective's Endowment Association card or your D.A. Investigator card or your State Police Detail Commander-Emergency Services card. One of those should get you out of it, they work for me.
let me clarify.. I was probably being a "pig" right there.. but what I meant was that his partner for the day was a lady officer.. who seemed to be some sort of rookie.. she was dressed a little less official and was chewing gum. They both got out of the cop car at the same time and stood there for a minute or two.. then she came up the passenger side and asked me to shut off the engine. and said that her partner would be right with me.. then here pink razor phone beeped and she started a texting conversation with someone.. So fucking annoying that this lady has to chat with her friends on the job, with a little smile, while the other cop is issuing me a ticket with sweat all driping down his face...
