My daily commute consists of running a stop sign.

Just some random trivia for you. I work the night shift, so when I come home at midnight, nobody is leaving or entering this one neighborhood that gets its own 3-way stop. Plus, I'm going downhill at the time and it's just such a waste of gas and brakes to come to a full stop when I'm driving the only car within a 5 mile radius. So, I just slow a bit to make absolutely sure nobody is there, and then I coast through at a comfortable 35mph. And I feel like such a badass every time.

Sounds like a good idea. Running a stop sign at 35mph.

One day you'll encounter an unmarked black Camry.

"Slow down for what??"

There's one on my way to work too. It's at an unused portion of railroad tracks. The same tracks cross other roads a few blocks over and those crossings don't have stop signs, so I don't stop for it

The best laws are the ones nobody follows, amirite?

PS: I've been hit twice on my bike by people who were too good to listen to a stop sign.

The neighborhood has a 15mph limit and nearly 1/4 mile of perfect visibility approaching it. Plus it's night, so I can see headlights even farther.
