Channel 7 tonight ran a story on Perth drivers regularly not stopping at stop signs.
It would appear that it is happening far more than in the past, I would conservatively estimate that in my local area 80% of people don't stop ,many hardly even slow down. My daughters friend recently incorrectly answered a question regarding stop signs in her learners permit test.She couldn't understand why she was wrong, her dad (mid forties at least) told her they are the same as give way signs. (Pass mark for learners permit test in WA is 24 correct answers from 30 questions, doesn't matter which ones you get wrong!). Apparently the penalty in every state is 3 points and fines ranging from $150 (WA) to around $350 in other states. I guarantee if the police put video cameras at intersections with stop signs and started sending out fines there would be an uproar. So is it happening because people are like the dad above or just can't be bothered. |
