    How many of you drivers out there ALWAYS come to a FULL STOP at a stop sign?

    I don't mean a "rolling stop", but a FULL STOP. If you don't, why not?

    I do, i would be too afraid not to.The traffic on the roads these days is too intense, better to be safe than sorry.

    Years ago, one of my friends got booked for not stopping at a stop sign in Fairfield. It was late at night no traffic. Of course there was a policeman somewhere nearby and he was booked.
    The policeman said even if there is no traffic, you must stop.

    I like to come to a full stop and double check before pulling out. In some circumstances things change fast, and I like giving myself that second chance to correct a potential disaster if I missed something.

    I always come to a full stop and check both directions also.


    It's always automatic for me, the same as putting on my seat belt and 


    always signalling to change lanes. Wow...a lot of "always"!  lol

    ALWAYS when I drove. My mom got a ticket for not doing so, I learned early.....

    Never especially driving a truck stop signs are more of a suggestion rather than a commandment.............

    Oh LORD!!!:-)

    I always do. I am too afraid not to. There is a lot of traffic this time of the year. Right now its Motorcycle week. Its crazy out there.

    I do when I'm driving on a public road. However, I live in a private community and nobody stops completely for a stop sign here. Police are not allowed in the community, so tickets of any kind are non-existent.

    like a commune?

    No, a gated community. Eliminates unwanted visitors.

    The gate is the only thing missing where I live. That, and foliage to cover the wrought iron that surrounds the pool area. EVERYONE can see me in my swimsuit just by looking out the window. One look should blind them.

    Bob/PKB: Reegarding the swimsuit, send us a picture anyway!
    Bob/PKB

    We'll see. LOL
    ed shank

    I'll bet there's no seeing eye dogs near the pool.
    Clonge

    Ed: The "dogs remark" is hysterical!
    Bob/PKB

    What would I do without you all! XO

    Always, I remeber being told about it when I took my test and it's always stuck in my mind.

    COOL ANSWER!!...Yep once you get done..it changes the ball game!.It took that for me!!...jumping the red lights on bicycle=Big fine!!:-(

    Me

    I'll read everyone else's answers later.  YES,  I ALWAYS COME TO A FULL STOP, and wait, looking BOTH ways (and ahead of me) MORE THAN ONCE. 
    WHY?  Mostly, the "failure to come to a complete stop" citation I got several years ago.  And, there is no good reason to disobey that law.

    @ed..the gate does or your driving does??!!;-0

    Referring to your comment to me- I only roll when I have a clear view and I do watch those intersections that are known for people running stop signs! I've seen it happen too many times! By the way in 50 years of driving I've never been in an accident or gotten a traffic ticket!

    I got a ticket for this violation last month. 

    Bob/PKB

    I find that watching others roll through, run red lights, and so on, is barely tolerable after having received my citation (20+ years ago).

    I can't say always! If I can see in both directions quite far I might roll. Also if snow is deep,I might roll. Most of my driving is country roads. I also brake for all animals!

    Bob/PKB

    Much of my driving is country, too, which means I am more careful to stop completely because of trees and vines which often block the view of traffic. I even slow down when approaching an intersection where the cross traffic is SUPPOSED to stop; too many times someone runs the sign and there have been serious, deadly accidents.
    Bob/PKB

    sounds like you DO have a clue, clu! Thanks for taking care of yourself!
