01.C.02 (1) |
Why should you stop completely at stop signs? A stop sign means
that you stop fully behind the limit line, crosswalk, or at the corner.
Most accidents occur at intersections, resulting in millions of dollars of damage, injuries, and deaths. Choosing to stop completely could
mean the difference between life and death. |

What does yield really mean? Failure to yield the right-of-way to
other drivers is one of the top 5 causes of accidents in the U.S. Yield means to let other
drivers, pedestrians, and bicycles have the right-of-way before you proceed. Sadly, 1,000s of accidents which
could have been avoided are caused each year by drivers failing to yield the
right-of-way. Again, simply following the letter of the law could save you a lot of pain and suffering. |
