Legend has it that someone local to my parents place complained to the nearest town police about people constantly rolling through the stop sign at the intersection in front of their house. The police parked up within sight of the intersection, and the first person they pulled over for a rolling stop was the same one who had called in the complaint.

Story goes the cop immediately gave up and drove back to the nearest town where he came from.

My town has a bunch of people riding bikes because they lost their license from too many DUIs, the rest are drunk drivers that haven't lost theirs yet.

We've been getting more roundabouts lately. I feel like we need the opposite as I have to sit behind someone coming to a complete stop for an empty roundabout...

I got rear ended by someone because the person in front of me thought a yield sign means stop when merging onto the highway. Fucker didn’t even realize it and drove off

The person in front of you rear ended you and didn’t realize and drove off?

I know it's a STOP sign, but I have great visibility and there's not a soul in sight. I ain't stopping.
