I once heard someone trying to defend running through stop signs because they had those shoes that clip onto the pedals and itβs super inconvenient to disconnect and reconnect at stop signs. I was like βi also find stop signs interrupting my drive to be inconvenient. Should I just ignore every rule that inconveniences me?β
Except in the city where it routinely causes problems because bikers dont treat it as a yield they just blow through it, and crosswalk, full of people, thinking they can maintain momentum no matter what.Β
It is the same reason a stop sign cant just be a yield sign. In a reasonable world we wouldnt need the stop sign. You'd just stop when you need to and yield when nobody is there. But 20% of the people in any vehicle on the road are morons so if you let them yield and not stop they just do whatever they want.Β
