So did they stop you, or had you already stopped at home?

Had been on a long train trip, driving home late from the station. At the junction shortly before home I espied in my mirror a citroen bx following too close
I slowed down, turned off, then I perceived a police vehicle following me. It followed me home. An officer hopped out and asked whether I had been drinking. I explained that I had given up alcohol several years before. I was not breathalysed, no charges were brought

As for motor crime, you may observe for yourself as described above
So you weren't actually stopped they spoke to you when you stopped at home.
You aren't willing to supply any evidence regarding your accusations about all motorists so we should take it once again that you have non other than your opinion?
I seem to recall a recent,now disappeared,thread resurrection where you not only called a lady motorist a derogatory name but you also admitted to lying about losing a family member in an road accident just so you could win the argument with her?
A pattern is developing here.I'm not sure you can be taken seriously.

Basically, someone broke the law, but there was insufficient evidence and no witnesses, so he got off with it.
............ or he just pretended to break the law and some people believed him.

I should have learnt by now!
Please, have you taken a few minutes to observe traffic at a STOP sign, as I have suggested before?
If not, please do so before casting nasturtiums
I think 'the majority [50%+] routinely break the law' is a suitable phrase and is unfortunately true
Very much looking forward to reading of your observations

I have not made the claim so I will not be doing any such thing. You made the claim so should provide the evidence. I doubt a few minutes at a single stop sign would prove a thing.

Even if it were true that the majority don't stop that would not be a reason to conclude that they are illiterate

Look at instigating the ignore function...it might keep your blood pressure slightly lower

I have spent time observing traffic at Stop signs, one waits a while before seeing even a single one who can even read. The majority do not stop, they are presumably illiterate

Good grief!
I assume you mean the "Royal We" as I don't recall most of us agreeing any such thing?! I should stop flogging that particular horse if I were you, it's long since left the stables.
