Re: DO YOU "FULL STOP" at all STOP SIGNS?

But seriously, if it's a four way stop, you bet I'll come to a omplete stop and make sure every other driver is looking at me befor I go.

But a right turn at a red light, when the other left turn arrow is lit up? i'll go for it every time, just slow down, look and go.

One thing I won't do. Inch out into the intersection to make a left turn, then get stuck out there and have to turn (on red) in front of everyone when they have the green light. That's just rude. I stay back unless I can make it all the way across on green.

Right, I "definately full stop" at the Stop sign if there were other cars "in sight", but as I did mention, now a days I don't full stop if there are "no other cars in sight". Same for the red light, full stop, & "if no other cars are in sight", I won't wait there at idle for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes waiting for it to change, just waisting gas. Doing this, I have noticed at least a 3 gal "less" use of gas during my standard regular driving week.
