I accidentally ran a stop sign what would you do?

Sounds like you did a lot more than I would've/have done. Most people would have just kept going. Good job.

Peace and Love

nothing, you did everything fine. just be glad you didnt get hurt or hurt anyone else! and just make sure you look out for stop signs in the future

Pay mooe attention to your driving, especially in the rain. Don't listen to the radio or talk on your cell phone, or eat, or apply make-up etc. When the road is wet, drive slower and allow for a greater stopping distance. Driving is no joke. You could have killed someone because of your carlessness!

What you did was fine, you caused no damage to anyone or anything so what's the harm?

Dan S

i wouldn't even worry about it

Autumn

there really isnt anything that you can do. and if you report yourself for this you will just end up causeing yourself more trouble. and going to the police station reporting your self could be quite humiliating. i dont believe you should do anything about it. it was an accident. nobody was harmed. hope i helped.

Scott H

No problem, just stop twice at the next one, and it's all good.

stella

well that must've been scary!!!
I'm glad your alright.

and your very lucky a cop didn't get you. I'm sure your fine. Don't worry about it.

The smartest thing you could have done, you did -- take your foot off the brakes as soon as you realized your car had spun out of control.

I would not have done anything differently.

Glad you are safe, your car is not damaged, no one or nothing was involved and the police did not see your violation.

Hope you still feel OK in 2 days because sometimes a muscle injury may take 24 hours to show up.

Have a blessed day,

1. Do not turn the wheel sharply when skidding.
2. Unless you have anti-lock brakes, do not brake hard enough to lock the wheels, especially when it has just rained.
3. If you know where the stop signs are (from driving the same road before), slow down when you know one is coming, even if you cannot see it yet.

rider

you did the right thing (if thats what your looking for here)
in the future use more caution while driving especialy in the rain

Steven E

Well if no one is hurt, no damage, then just forget about it , oh and if you are ok too...

Dancer92

Your fine! Just pay more attention, you always have to be alret when driving something could happen in a split secound! I doubt you will get a ticket, unless they have photo inforced light (which most dont).

beth

nothing could be done.brakes dont work well in the rain. what i usually do in the rain when i need to stop is to, tap the break a good 2 or 3 times before i get to the stop sign.

Gas is $3.60 a gallon - driving tripps must become a matter of necessity rather than pleasure. All the sliding and hard turning and skidding tells me that You WERE DRIVING TO FAST FOR ROAD CONDITIONS... The area is probably residential and most streets are 25-30 mph. Atleast they are around my place... Slow down--today is sunday...
Slow down for the rest of week.. The sound of smashing fenders and busted glass is a terrible sound and ear ringing..
Slow down....

You checked for damage to other property, people, etc... So theres really nothing more to do. I understand you ran a stop sign. If you would have told the police officer you ran the stop sign- he would not have given you a ticket any way because he did not see it. He would have commende you for your honesty.

Smudgeward

Nothing, but I would consider making sure my next car has ABS (anti lock brakes) as it makes this scenario less likely to happen.
Now have a drink and praise your choice of deity!

don't know

abdiver12

I wouldn't have hit the brakes like that because you could have ended up coming to a stop in the middle of the intersection. Better to go fast through the intersection than to stop in it or skid through it. Your reaction was instinctive and I can understand why you did it but when you're past the point of no return, don't hit the brakes. It would have been safer to go through at 40 mph.

madbikeman

I would of done what you done mate ....drove home the only thing i would change is how u controled your car....not brake so suddenly in a panic just lift on and off so you can gain control.....but thankfully your alright.

m.a.d.e

if i saw no 1 coming id drive rite through it.

that was fine. let it go.

Melissa L

just kept on going and not worried about it. If you did not get pulled over then luck was on your side.

amusdbyyou

I wouldn't do anything different. Sliding through intersections happens a lot. If you didn't get pulled over right then you'll be ok.

Sam H

Go home and lay low. You never know when they are going to come after you for it. xD

bungee

if you went 75 yards with the wheels locked up you were doing a lot more than 40. you need to pay attention this is the kind of stuff that can ruin your entire life.

t r e k k e r

Go turn yourself in to the police and repent.

amanda panda

what kind of question is this??? you are silly.. you just want to tell someone what happened. this is one of those things that nobody sees happen and you are a little starstruck afterwards, and you feel all jittery and stuff. just sit back and enjoy your adrenaline rush... :)

failte1950

I would be thanking God that there was not a serious accident caused, and ajusted your speed to adverse weather conditions!

IThirtySix

You don't need to do anything unless someone is injured or you damaged property.

Cary C

i would of stayed home, then nothing like this would of happened.
