I watched:

  1. redondo beach police issue tickets to four guys who ran a stop sign.
  2. Palos Verdes Police issue tickets to two guys who ran a stop sign.
  3. Palos Verdes Police warning a guy for running a stop sign.
  4. Torrance Police lay in wait for cylists to run a stop sign.


Here in California, it goes on your drivers license and I think the fine is around $180.00 I've got better things to spend my money.

I've also been thanked by police for coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. That 2 seconds I "waste" by stopping at a stop sign is far better than becoming a bug splat on the road.

Is it really worth taking a risk to save 2 seconds??

I have yet to ride with a squad who abide by the law.

to Aint Doody,

You were in the lead and called out "stopping". Your friend following is totally in the wrong by calling out "going" ("rolling"). It doesn't matter if there was a stop sign or not. If a lead calls out "stopping", there probably is a very good reason for stopping.
