Also!: My dad said because the actual citation doesn't mention stop signs, this is practically an ill-enforced citation. Read it carefully... if everytime you pulled out of your own driveway onto a street, even though theres no stop sign, your required (by this ordinance in Kansas) to fully stop. If this was fully enforced, every driver in Kansas would have a ticket. Is this at all a good arguement when I go to court?
so, yes, every time you exit your own driveway, you must come to a complete stop before entering the public right of way, even if there is no stop sign.12.04.080 Emerging from Alley or Private Driveway or Building.
The driver of a vehicle emerging from an alley, building, private road or driveway within a
business or residence district shall stop such vehicle immediately prior to driving onto a
sidewalk or onto the sidewalk area extending across such alley, building entrance, road or
driveway, or in the event there is no sidewalk area, shall stop at the point nearest the street to be
entered where the driver has a view of approaching traffic thereon.
(History: K.S.A.8-1555; Ord. TC-1260 §79, 84)
See: 12.04.002 & 12.04.060
btw: many states do have a requirement that a person actually come to a complete stop, just as if there was a stop sign, when entering a public roadway.
You can always try to claim ignorance of the law but since you have a 4.0, I suspect the judge will not believe such a smart kid is simply ignorant of the traffic laws of your city and state.
