@LiberalLibrarian not arguing about people being more feral, but "California stop" made me chuckle. My office is up near Victorville and people seem more likely to get to a full stop, or completely blast the light/sign. Most of my driving being in New England I referred to CA stop as a rolling stop, so experiencing that not being common out there as us Yankees believe struck me as funny.
@Valkaru @LiberalLibrarian I've seen them referred to as "Idaho stops" as well.
PS: The stop sign that's on the corner where I live apparently is only a stop in the daylight. At night, people will fly thru it at 40, in a residential subdivision. Whee.
@kismatt @LiberalLibrarian when neightbors blow past my house (25 mph limit, one road in and out), i sometimes might roll a kids ball into the street just to spice things up.
@kismatt @LiberalLibrarian so tossing a bicycle in the street would be really frowned upon
We have a pair of ...let's call them young adults...who have pocket rockets, and who will zoom up and down the street @40 mph at all hours (yes, 3 AM) blowing thru the stop sign, driving on the sidewalk, weaving in between cars, etc.
You don't know how much I'd love to string up a clothesline. ISTG.
@kismatt @LiberalLibrarian making a bad name for those well-behaved riders:( Between acting the fool and ridiculously loud pipes (I am in New Hampshire) there are some folks that don't win many friends
@Valkaru @LiberalLibrarian if I did that I'd probably get shot at.
