You disagree and find it acceptable to roll (slow down but not come to a full stop, look both ways and proceed only when it is safe to do so) past a STOP sign when you are `100 percent sure there are no pedestrians or bikes? You forgot cars, trucks, emergency vehicles, and buses in your statement.VTL 1172A: (a) Except when directed to proceed by a police officer, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop sign shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, then shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or in the event there is no crosswalk, at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of the approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection and the right to proceed shall be subject to the provisions of section eleven hundred forty-two. It's just that, EVERY DRIVER SHALL STOP, not slide, roll, crawl or blow by a STOP sign until a full stop is made, the driver has looked both directions, checked mirrors then proceeds when it's safe. My ex-boss had the same argument as you, that's why she received a traffic summons for blowing by a STOP sign. I really feel that people like you who think it's not dangerous to roll by a STOP sign if you are 100 percent sure it's safe, should walk into the nearest DMV and surrender their license. Driving is a serious responsibility which everyone should obey the laws, even though some people like you argue it's more detrimental. |
