Just to vent/question. It seems to me a new trend that cars pull out from side roads onto main roads, without stopping at stop sign or just pulling out in front of oncoming traffic. I've been driving for a long time, but this trend seems to be picking up steam. As I drive to work/wherever, down an arterial road, vehicles will enter from housing/shopping areas without so much as a hesitation at stop sign, they just go. It's almost like they are saying, "it's my turn". Then I have to slow down, or even break hard, to accommodate for this impatient driver.

Of course people stop at stop signs all the time every day or else all intersections would be littered with totaled cars. That is not the case.

I do get and understand your hyperbole though.

I was nearly rear ended at a stop sign. Large truck behind me didn’t expect me to come to a full and complete stop at the stop sign. He kept rolling as if he expected me to just drive through without stopping.

About the only time I see someone come to a complete stop is if
a LEO is close by or they are lost


Especially here in PHX between October & April

I do.

If I make a mistake and miss one, I stop twice at the next one to make up for it.

No cop......no stop!

I stopped at a 3 way today and hiding in the shade of a tree was a local motorcycle cop! I'm not a stop sign "roll" guy anyway but the cop sitting there shocked me.

Don't drive in Mexico where you don't stop even if there's a cop.

Me, too.


I am more aggravated by those who stop where there is no stop sign. They are really very annoying!

I stop but have noticed lately that more and more drivers do a rolling stop instead of a complete stop. Everyone's in a hurry these days, or so it seems
