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.

I got what you saying and agree with you most part. I am not here denying that I broke the law. However, as I mentioned I checked roads while applying on the brake. I swear there wasn't even a cat around thus I didn't fully stop. And it was like 10mph.

I bring this up is because I don't think a lot(or maybe most) people will fully stop in this particular situation. Is it breaking the law? Yes. But does it judging me as a dangerous driver? I disagree. It's like the speed limit says 55 but how many people actually drive 55 or below on the highway? Should cops give every one who drives 65 a ticket as well?

I think it all depends on the situation. 13 years driving I never had a single car accident and only got 1 speeding ticket, I know what I am doing. In this case, a warning is more suitable...
