[quote user="jchnhtfd"] <p>for what it's worth... there may or may not have been a stop sign at the crossing; someone said there wasn't. However, my friends, a crossbuck IS a stop sign, unless it is associated with active signals. So much for that one.</p><p>Second, most folks overdrive their headlights (I'm as guilty as the next guy, although I try) but very very few realise that they are doing that. That is why reflectors are helpful: they pick up and return the headlight's light at a significantly greater distance than an ordinary object would (say, for instance, a pedestrian or a deer or something soft like that). However, one has to assume that if one isn't going to stop for a stop sign (they're reflectorized in most cases) one also has to assume that it is unlikely that a correct analysis will be made of a set of reflectors, or at least not in time to stop.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I may be wrong, but I don't believe crossbucks require a stop like a stop sign. Crossbucks mean the same thing as a yield sign.</p><p> </p>
