When you signed your name on that line to receive your driver's license, you agreed that you understood all traffic statutes and that you'd abide by them. The common "I-didn't-know-about-that rule" is not an excuse for any traffic violation. Can't tell you how many of those I've heard.
Think about it, God forbid, you come to a stop sign and some child riding a bicycle crosses your path unexpectedly. Thank goodness you were stopped behind the stop bar because otherwise you'd be liable as you were too impatient to stop for merely two seconds.
