If the car in front of me stops way beyond the line at a stop sign, putting me at the line, do I stop again?

Question:
For more clarification, if the car in front stops way beyond the line at a stop sign, leaving me behind him and stopped where I am supposed to be, if he goes, is it illegal if I go? There are no cars coming either way? Just curious to know that since I stopped at the line where I was supposed to even though there is a car in front of me, arent I following the law?

If you follow him through the intersection, then yes, you are both breaking the law.

Just because he didn't stop where you thought he was supposed to doesn't give you automatic permission to follow him through the intersection.

Who invented the House Key and The Car Key? I really need to know!?


I can think of a number of intersections where if I stop at the painted line, I am still not far enough forward to clearly see around the corner. I know of a few offramps that are like that. If you stop at the line, you can't see over the bridge. So sometimes, I will admit to not coming to a complete stop until my car is far enough forward to clearly see over the bridge. If you were behind me when I did this, do you think it would be safe to follow me out into the intersection?

Wait until he crosses the intersection then go if there are no other cars at the other 3 corners. Otherwise, it's not illegal.

Since you're already stopped at the proper point, yes, you can proceed when it's safe. However, you must make sure that the car that was in front of you has cleared the intersection before proceeding.

If your stop with your front wheels are on the white stop line, It's perfectly OK to go if the coast is clear. Do not roll or follow the car in front of you unless you have already come to a complete stop. On a two lane road it's against the law to pass on the right at if there is a stoped car in front of you. If there is a car turning left position yourself toward the right hand line so cars behind you know you plan on proceding straight ahead.

Should charter buses have seat belts?

No, you don't stop again, but you wait for him to cross before you start. by the way, you should stop behind the line, not at the line. In another situation, another car could zoom out of nowhere, going at a high rate of speed, and the guy in front might decide he has to back up. Always think ahead, and drive defensively.

If you double your speed when driving, how much does your braking distance increase ?

If this is all-way stop and there are other cars - wait for your turn as you normally would. Otherwise - proceed, you already came to a complete stop, which was required by law.

You can't just "tailgate" through on his turn, though. If it's an all-way stop, you have to let the other cars have their normal turn, and then you go.

Even if it's all clear, you should "dwell" at least 2-3 seconds, while YOU look both ways, again. The time may be annoying, but if that 2-3 seconds saves you a $250 ticket, you just paid yourself $360,000 an hour tax-free.
