stop signs aim to help cars from hitting each other and protect both drivers.
if you blazed through a stop sign and got hit by a car, you'd be dead and the car'd be scratched.
as a lesser vehicle on the road, i'd think a stop sign would be your biggest friend.
yes it sucks, but would a tiered stop sign/red light/speeding ticket system be fair?
$300 - car
$200 - motorcycle
$50 - moped
$5 - bike
i don't think so. because dead people can result out of disobeying them all the same.
not saying your a bad cyclist at all, but this is just a generalized statement:
how come cyclists want the same road status and rights, but don't want to follow the same rules?
lights, signs, even flow of traffic.
