So do you stop at every stop sign? Even if you are positive that you are not endangering anyone or stopping the flow of traffic? Not a critisism, just a question. I know what the law says, but come on, if all I see is tumbleweeds in the distance or I'm crossing in the same direction at the same time as a pedestrian, I'm not stopping. No sir. Then again, I would never use the same logic if I were driving since I think the responsability towards others' safety is much greater, since you have more power to harm them.
