I admit that I love to drive fast when conditions permit. I've been pulled over for speeding. Heck, I've even slowed down so the officer could safely catch me. I've been lectured for going too fast but rarely received a ticket because I was actually driving safely (two tickets).

As I said earlier, TV has too many stop signs. Some make absolutely no sense. In many instances, yield signs make a lot more sense. In some instances, nothing makes the most sense.

If people would use common sense and automatically slow down when coming to an intersection, actually pay attention when driving and drive appropriately for conditions, we would probably have less traffic signs and laws and definitely have less accidents.

So, could all of you perfect, absolute law-abiding folks get off your high horse and admit that you break laws as well when you feel it is warranted?
I disagree about yield signs replacing stop signs. Look at how many people disregard yield signs at the roundabouts. the people who roll through stop signs would be bounding through yield signs. Me First/I Can Beat You Out kind of attitude.
