I walk early in the mornings and have had to dodge cars, golf carts and bikes in broad day light... They don't pay attention to crosswalks either!!!

My dear friend was taking her 10 year old son to school. Someone "rolled thru a stop sign" and hit her on the passenger side. Her son was seat belted but by some freak occurrence he hit his head on the side panel of the door. He finally survived after weeks in ICU but still has the mentatilty of a 5 year old ... 25 years later. Probably doesn't happen often but if it happens to you, it is one time too many. STOP means STOP... not if you feel like it...not if you think it is necessary. The stop sign is there for a reason. We don't get to pick and choose which laws to obey.
