You know the situation. you are coming to a stop sign. No one is approaching from the other Roads. Do you stop or roll through the stop sign? The same applies for right turns on red. Do you stop or just roll through the red light.
My observation is, more of us are not stopping and to make it worse, we seem to be going faster through the stops and right turn on red.
What do we gain by not fully stopping. Five, ten seconds at most. Is it worth it? I was almost hit when a driver made a running right at a stop sign. Needless to say ,he had to stop at the next traffic light. He gained absolutely nothing.
The worse thing is, I was in the crosswalk well before he arrived. He was so concentrating on turning he never saw me.
I am assuming the driver was a male. I don’t know. I couldn’t see the driver. All the windows were heavily tinted including the front windshield.
To stop or not to stop should not be a question. We should be stopping at stop signs.
