They just believe it makes no sense to come to a complete stop when there is no pedestrian, bicycle, or any other vehicle within 50 feet of the intersection, so instead they slow down to 2 mph. That dies not make them irresponsible drivers.When I took sociology in college, our teacher asked us to survey for 30 minutes how many drivers do not come to a complete stop if there are no cars in front of them. I found 95 percent of drivers did not come to a complete stop. The lesson we were supposed to have learned was just because you make a law doesn't mean anyone will listen. But if you want to use that as your example, you could come to the same conclusion regarding pedestrians who jaywalk and cyclists who run red lights and conclude neither of those groups are responsible either since the percentages of those groups who violate those laws are also probably near 95 percent, |
