Reply to comment by Special_Beat_8969 in Has anyone gone to court over a stop sign obedience violation that can give me advice on what to do in court? by Special_Beat_8969
It is a conscious effort. I do make full stops.
Let's see how you'll feel if one of your loved ones suffers because a selfish, irresponsible person doesn't make a full stop. Will you care about that driver's good grades? I wouldn't.
Own up to your mistake, pay the full fine, stop making excuses, and avoid doing dumb things.

Like someone is going to suffer because I went 3 mph at the stop sign instead of coming to a complete stop. I got the ticket dismissed because there are people in there for DUI charges meanwhile I have a clean driving record.

Sure. Who cares about your record? You're a selfish person. People like you harm and kill innocent people. Instead of recognizing your mistake and learning from it, you're trying to justify it.
In this respect, you are showing a rotten side to yourself. I hope you or your loved ones never suffer at the hands of someone like yourself.

"people like me" that's funny. I don't operate a vehicle while under the influence like 80% of the people in the courtroom today and everyday. I forgot that going 3 mph at a stop sign instead of completely stopping is sooooo selfish you're right. Congratulations on being Rhode Island's #1 driver and high and mighty law abiding citizen.

We know people can behave seriously irresponsible while driving. Just because others cause (even more) harm does not make your misgivings ok.
You are also doing something that can cause others harm or death.
People with your carelessness and attitude ultimately run other people over.
It isn't the fact that you made a mistake (probably countless times given how you try to justify it and make it seem unimportant) but rather that you try to act like it isn't a big deal and justify it.
That's what makes you selfish, irresponsible, and partially rotten. It's your inability to recognize your error, take responsibility for it, and try to avoid committing the error in the future.
And yes I make mistakes but I own them, take full responsibility, then try to avoid making those mistakes.
People like you have hurt and killed pedestrians. Reflect on that.
