Old school prank

By Anonymous - 09/07/2009 01:34 - United States

Today, my cousin told me that the stop signs outlined with a white line were optional. Later, a cop pulled me over, when I asked why he said, "You ran that stop sign back there." I explained what my cousin had told me and he looked at me funny and replied, "All stop signs have a white outline." FML

You deserved getting pulled over for actually believing that BS. Why would they put a traffic sign up if you didn't have to obey it? Sounds a bit stupid to me.

Now let me ask this: Do you neglect to use your turn signals, too? This is strike 1 and 2. That would surely be strike 3 on your quest for vehicular ineptitude. :(

Someone tried to pull that on me the other day - I didn't realize it was a long running prank, but I could tell he was talking BS (He didn't say they were optional, he said that federal highway code required that stop signs be all red, so the white outline renders them void) I didn't bother to look it up and check, but knew that even if true a cop giving me a ticket wouldn't care, and a magistrate would laugh me out of the room, and I wouldn't bother with the rigamarole to get before an actual judge to argue it anyway - more hastle than it's worth, even if successful. So I just stop at the signs. This policy also helps make sure I don't run over any pedestrians, or get my car crashed into by someone going the other way.
