Inspired by how fast do you drive.....
We have a 4 way stop in my neighborhood and it is a constant source of entertainment on the neighborhood Facebook page. The people who live at the 4 corners are constantly complaining about how many people ignore the stop signs.
The folks on the corner report that:
He doesn't stop at stop signs or red lights if he is driving from about 11pm - 5am. He says he does a mixture of slow rolls or just blowing through like it is not even there. His theory is that at night he can see the headlights of approaching traffic and can safely ignore the stop signs and red lights.
To me it's one thing to ignore a stop sign in a neighborhood setting with a 25 MPH speed limit but he ignores them no matter the number of lanes of traffic or speed limit.
What is your approach to traffic control devices?

The folks on the corner report that:
- 50% of people stop at the stop signs.
- 30% of the people slow roll through the stop sign, either going straight or turning.
- 20% of the people just continue through like the stop sign is not even present, either going straight or turning.
