    I like to abide by the "White lines are optional stops and all stop signs have white lines around them"! LOL. Not much population where we live tho!

    Why you gotta walk through my yard that's already struggling when there's plenty of driveway to use?? Literally walked a straight line two feet into my yard the entire length.

    Aha, someone caught that. I'd like to say it was a hidden officer with no lights on or a camera but the guy a few hundred yards ahead of me that never slowed down made me feel I could clear that hurdle.

    I consider it unfortunate timing. Unlike the guy in front of me, I decided to at least slow down for a sense of safety even though I didn't plan to make a full stop if i didnt see anyone. When I was about 10-15 feet from the stop sign and had taken my foot off the brake, headlights topped the hill to my left (but were about a half mile away). I jammed on the brakes but realized I'd stop in the middle of the intersection so thought "screw it, what are the chances it's a police officer" and just went through as planned. I saw the blue lights come on before I got to the other side.

    I sometimes think "if I hadn't slowed down at all, he wouldn't have topped the hill until i was already across and I would have never gotten caught" but for some reason feel THAT would have been dangerous and irresponsible. See, spirit of the law.

    I'd like to add to this: People who don't know what a turn signal is.

    My other favorite is people who pull out right in front of you from a side street or parking lot like they're in some big rush, and then they snail-drive in front of you.
