I was at the my local Costco, getting a newmembership to save $500 on my new ST, and cheap propane. On my way back to my car, I was crossing at a pedestrian crossing, and this asshat comes by, and speeds through a stop sign almost running me over.
On the bright side, Its only 8 days until..

I just have to comment on the irony of a post titled "Stoopid people" being made by someone calling themself buford-t-justice. That is all. Carry on with your day.

Related to the topic. The parking lot is private property. The stop signs aren't legally binding. By driving like an asshat in the parking lot the cops can't ticket you for running the stop sign. Costco can ban the moron though.

Got to love parking lot racers! To bad they usually go five under once we hit the streets.

That depends on how it's written in the state/local code and it's different everywhere. Some statutes like 'reckless driving' are pretty much universally written so they can be enforced on private property and running a stop sign and whacking someone can be interpreted as reckless. There's also often language that says a police officer may enter private property and enforce violations of uniform traffic control devices posted there. Basically, unless you've memorized every state and local ordnance you don't really know if its enforceable.

Good to know. I'm thinking in Michigan it isn't enforceable, but I had not heard that part before.

There are two common treatments of this kind of thing. Some jurisdictions private land is private land and any rules are a purely civil matter. In others, like here in England, anywhere like a supermarket car-park or whatever is treated for road-law purposes as if it were a public road.

Am I the only one that gets super pissed when walking in a parking lot at people driving like morons, giving them "the look"..........and then getting in my car and getting mad as shit at pedestrians walking around like a bunch of idiots? I call it "the pedestrian effect"

Coincidentally, MI is why I looked this up. A number of years ago one of my friends was driving across MI and got a ticket for rolling a stop sign in a parking lot. Our initial reaction was 'Private property! fight the ticket!'. Turns out, in MI, signs on private property are by default unenforceable, however, if the business requests it, the police have the authority to enforce signs on their premises. How it works in practice is that each town/city has a list of enforceable signs that are on private property. It's typically big places like shopping malls/stadiums/big box stores, but you never know...the local dry cleaners could be on the list. Careless and reckless driving is enforceable on all private property in MI.
