>>Only an idiot would stop at a stop sign on a deserted highway.<<

Heh, heh. When visiting relatives in South Dakota, I tend to stop at the signs when there is any good cover around (for cops). My relatives just laugh. I have learned it just doesn't work that way. The stop signs are just there to determine who is at fault if there ever IS an accident.

Bingo!

We could have ZERO traffic infraction enforcment*, and let the insurance companies determine liability after the fact based on speed, etc.

*except for verifying that all vehicles display proof of current insurance.

Now I understand how ex-4 term Gov Janklow of South Dakota got only a lousy 100 days w/roomservice for blowing a stop sign at 90+ and killing a motorcyclist/father of 2, named Randy Scott 2 years ago.

The jury must have laughed too.
