So you are stopping for the health of your car, not for safety.It's not often one can feel a sense of moral superiority (obeying stop signs) while benefiting personally (avoiding costly repairs). I also obey stop signs on the rare occasions when driving an automatic. It's a lot harder to prove when driving an automatic. How you care to ascribe your motivation is immaterial. Would you always come to a full stop if there is absolutely no one else anywhere in the area? I do. I'm also aware that most accidents occur when a person or object suddenly appears from out of nowhere. I've also seen too many drunks on the roads at 3am, when "absolutely no one else" is in the area. N.B. I've known too many people who were killed by cars or had a parent killed by a car. I don't want to be the person to inflict such damage on anyone. On a personal level, I know I'd live with such an incident for the remainder of my life. I prefer to take the extra step to avoid such unpleasantness, even should that cost me a few precious seconds. |
