-He yelled at me for not stopping at a stop sign. There was a stop sign in front of me and in front of the old man. It wasn't a 4 way intersection or anything. It was just a 3 way place. With the other lane going the opposite direction of me obviously. And another one to my right. The guy stopped, I just kept going cause I knew there weren't any other cars in my way. And then the old dude rolled down the windows and yelled at me. I was gonna flip him off but I decided to be nice instead and just drove off cussing at him in my head.



-Seriously...what's his problem? If he was in danger of getting hit by me, then he has every right to yell at me. But he was in no danger at all. It was just me and him in the lanes. Maybe he's just obsessed with safe driving. Screw him. Next time I see him, I'll get out of my car and flip him off. Or maybe I should just yell back telling him to stop driving like a turtle lol.

Now, If I see multiple cars in the lanes, then I stop at stop signs. If it's just me and some other guy in the opposite lane, then I keep going cause there's no point of stopping. I've done this many many times...and the funny thing is, I've never been caught by the cops. I know what I'm doing. I don't just do things without knowing it.

No...there's no point. Think about it. I'm a new user. I don't know anyone on this site. Do you think people would come to my page and read my blog? I have no followers. So there's no point in blogging. It's just a waste of time.

This is the second time I've agreed with something you posted today, I dunno if there's a full moon out or what.

Idve still flicked the guy off, though, anyone who yells at me while driving typically gets the finger. If I were in his position I wouldn't have yelled, Idve flicked you (TC) off, yelling is so unnecessary.

It's not a yield sign... there's no driver discretion involved. Stop at stop signs and old people won't yell at you, so you won't have to post useless things like this here.

It is illegal and incredibly dangerous to not stop at a stop sign. Anyone who doesn't stop for a sign should have their license taken away.

It's still stupid. What if he was turning and didn't have his signal on? What if a pedestrian starts crossing before you get to the intersection thinking you're going to stop? Stop signs are there for a reason, what's so important that you can't take the five seconds to stop for them?

That's what I'm saying. You'll get a lot more hits on the forums than in a blog. I don't understand why that's a rule, but this thread will probably get locked.

Stop because sooner or later because YOU believe that you can get away with it, you'll get caught. Or you'll hit some kid on a bike who feels the way you do and thinks he's invincible. Or the old dude might be a former young dude who's gotten away with it for so long he doesn't even bother to stop and thus, you collide.

Or simply stop because it's the right thing to do.

I don't know if you're trolling or not, but hell, I would have yelled at you too. Just because you don't think another car is coming doesn't mean there isn't one. I wouldn't be suprised if you get ina few good recks because of this.

More worthless trivia: there's no such offence as jaywalking in Britain. You cross where and when you consider it safe, at your own risk.

I actually believe a lot of accidents, not just on the road, occur because people switch off their initiative and do stuff by habit. Still, a stop sign is clearly not discretionary. When you're in control of a piece of machinery that can kill another person instantly, you should be thinking worst case scenario all the time.

I'm glad he yelled at you. The old man was right. You don't just blow through a stop sign like an idiot. In fact, I'm gonna yell at you, too.

STOP WHEN YOU GET TO A STOP SIGN YOU INCONSIDERATE BLEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, people might start to get interested in your blog posts if you're a nice user. Judging from this thread though...not so much eh?

i stop when it's 2am on back roads near my house and there isnt a car within 5 miles of me. Because if I break the habit of stopping, then i'm more likely of doing it elsewhere and will eventually get caught or get in an accident

This is the right answer. TC, you do realize you're complaining that someone yelled at you for doing something that can endanger other drivers. I have to stop here or I'm going to get modded.

An old man with a chip on his shoulder. That's unusual. Just troll him, report him for nothingand laugh at himwhen the presumptuoussystem harasses him. That's what all the teenagers do.If there was astop signinyour lane, it wasintended for you, not whoever feels like acknowledging it. If there wasn't then who cares what some confused old man says? He's just mad because he's old. And he probably can't remember his ownname either.

the problem is you will get away with this and nothing will happen 999 times out of a thousand but that thousandth time could be fatal to someone.

sure the odds are low but the consequences for that one time are too much to risk.

The only problem I see is you being a dumbass. Its the freaking law. STOP means STOP. I know of too many people who have done what you've done and ended up killing/hurting themselves and or others. Grow up dude and just stop. Whats so important that your willing to risk someones life to save 10 seconds of your time by not stopping.

Lol, Yeah yeah. I admit it was my fault then. It's just that whenever I'm driving, I get extremely angry very easily. I don't know why. I was driving and some dude was hitch hiking. I was the only car there. He looked at me and I got pissed LOL! Seriously...everything makes me angry when I'm driving. Like if my friend is arguing with me in the car, I get pissed and drive super fast and swerve left and right to make him stfu LOL. But when I'm NOT driving, I'm super nice. Weird how that works, eh?

Did you at least slow down? I know if there are no cars coming at all, I'll slow down and roll through, but not full on stop. If at the very least, you didn't do that, then he had every right to yell.dreDREb13

Yeah this is what i do when its late at night or whenever just do a rolling stop no big deal in that, some **** cops might fine you if they see you doing it but i've been doing it for a long time and never had any issues.

Now if you just blew the stop sign without even slowing down than that guy had every right to yell at you.

Anyways why did you even make this thread, someone yelled at you, big deal.

If you slowed down and pretty much stopped that isn't so much a problem but "you kept on going"... I would have yelled at you to man.... you can't ALWAYS see what is out there... what if I was going and you blasted me because you wanted to save 5 secs for not stopping? The old man was right...

Ugh... I can't stand idiotic drivers that think they know everything. A stop sign is there for you to stop at all times. The sign does not say "STOP at your discretion".

I think TC has been sufficiently (and correctly) chastised for a poor driving decision. Please stop at all stop signs to avoid possibly doing something you would regret for the rest of your life.
