Watch that whole "taking responsibility" idea; not a very popular concept these days.

That's not a shot at the OP because he's accepted the fact he broke the law.

And it's not a hoiler than thou attitude either as some have intimated.

To answer the OP's original question - yes, I fully stop for stop signs. I got pulled over way back when I first started driving and the warning from the cop stuck.

Also, I've seen a child struck on his bicycle by a Suburban-driving soccer mom who rolled through stop signs on a regular basis in my old neighborhood. The cop who responded to the call practically had to put her in the back of his car out of fears that someone was going to beat the sh#t out of her.

Thanks for the inputs guys! I will try to bring the damage to the minimal as possible. $150 is a big of a deal for me now as I just got laid off. But meanwhile, lesson learned. For people who read this thread, I hope you guys do follow the rules for your own sake as well as the whole community.
