Rant Time :-)

What the hell is wrong with people just cruising right through every stop sign every known to man these days?

See that white line on the road?

Yeah, the one that corresponds to where the Stop Sign is placed along the side of the road?

THAT WHITE LINE IS WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FUCKING STOP ON THE ROAD!

IT'S PUT THERE FOR A REASON!

It doesn't matter if you can't see the intersection from there. Come to a complete stop and then inch forward till you can see it's clear to go. This way, if the sign is to far back from the intersection to see properly you could at least explain to an officer of the law, "I came to a complete stop, then cautiously proceeded forward till I knew it was clear to go."

This cruising 30 mph until they are three car lengths in front of a stop sign and then slamming on the brakes?

Complete horseshit.

Okay.

feel much better now :-).

and relax, 

no I wasn't on the bike when this just happened...

Yet again.

Idiots.
