What's Up Guy's and Gal's, My profession has been driver training for large vehicles. School Buses, Tractor Trailer etc for over 25 years. Dealing with classroom instruction and behind the wheel. I've been around and am not a youngster! I have millions of miles in Tractor Trailers and School Buses. Accident free I might add.
My deal is why are we still using stop signs. Hell, I don't know one person that stops at a stop sign besides me. I mean make a full stop. Not rolling through and saying you stopped. People are getting very careless IMO. I'm not saying your not out there, but we are far and few in-between if you are truly stopping.
It is getting to the point that I'm almost afraid to stop at the sign because the person behind me expects me to run it like every other one does. (REALLY) I have almost been rear ended, many times. Hell the cops don't even follow the rules. Law enforcement is just as bad as the rest. And there is no time for law enforcement to stop those that do. This is why no one really cares about stopping. People do it right in front of the law.
I want you to be honest, how many of you stop at a stop sign. Not many, and I might question the ones that say they do because most people really think they do. Don't fool yourself. Ask the question at work sometime. (hey do you make a full stop at a stop sign) See what you get? Sure, ya right!
So here's my thought, lets just replace them with YEILD SIGNS!!!!!!!!! This way no one would be breaking the law. Something has to be done. Don't get me wrong. They place stop signs for a reason. Danger can lurk there. I'm just sick and tired of all the careless drivers that are on our roadways. I do obey all stop signs. What's your thoughts and tell us your tales of aggravation or you may disagree with me all together. I'M SICK OF IT ALL!
