I live one house down from an intersection with a 4-way stop.
Virtually nobody but me stops completely, including the police, who cruise through even more blatantly than the general public - ‘cause they’re special. They’re also exempt from the ridiculously low speed limits the rest of us have to abide by or else.
I’ve often been close to being rear-ended many times because I’m also one of the rare people who stops behind the white line, rather than stopping halfway into the crosswalk.

Now you’ve touched a nerve. I drive a big truck and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to make a left turn onto a street but can’t, because someone in a car is sitting 8 feet past the line. Do these people ever wonder why those lines are painted on the road?
