0 \+ Z' N5 N0 c3 Y# z/ wIn the Alberta Highway Traffic Act (Canada), the definition of STOP is "a complete cessation from vehiclular movement". This would mean no rolling whatsoever. I tell my students (yes, Im a driving instructor) to stop and then say to themselves "I HAVE STOPPED". This takes approximately 2 - 3 seconds. I can't see how a photograph would prove you didn't stop. A video camera would show this however. A policeman stopped around the corner would witness whether you stopped or not. In Alberta, there is a $388. fine and a loss of 3 demerits on your driver's licence if a police officer gives you a ticket. Added to that is the record on your Driver's Abstract, which the insurance company will see and increase your insurance significantly. Bottom line........make sure you stop! It hits your wallet hard! Oh, and that stop sign is probably there for a reason

It takes 1.6 seconds, by the science, for your eyes and brain to see and begin to react to a concern. it then takes 0.5 seconds to get your muscles to start to move, so now you are over 2 seconds, and you haven't even put in radio, conversations, and other distractions. It is also helpful because Police have the same reaction times, and if you stop for 3 seconds, they will register the stop in their own heads.' K7 j* [- S/ ~

When a driver goes through a red light or a stop sign without stopping then that person has committed a traffic offence under provincial highway traffic legislation.

The prosecutor must prove that the light was red at the instant you entered the intersection. A car enters an intersection when any part of it crosses over the pedestrian walkway area of the intersection.$ C! Y; t8 `5 P$ P" l$ b) z5 G

There are two common defences for fighting a ticket for failing to stop at a red light or a stop sign. First, you may argue that you did in fact stop at the stop sign, or that the light was not red when you entered the intersection. These types of arguments are difficult to prove, unless you have credible witnesses or other evidence. If you make this argument, however, and the police officer does not show up in court to give evidence, you have a very good chance of winning.( D$ j8 e' Z# C1 P/ h
# ^+ e# S2 w* s$ _2 dSecond, you may also defend yourself by showing that there is some irregularity that caused the stop sign or the light to be misleading. For example, if the sign was not visible because of snow or a tree, you may be able to use this as a defence. However, it is difficult to defend yourself using this argument unless you have credible evidence, such as a photograph from the date and time of the alleged offence.

( T" s7 g2 ^9 s9 ^: kThe penalty for failing to stop is a usually a fine and demerit points. For example, in British Columbia the offence of ‘disobeying a stop sign’ will bring a fine and three demerit points; in Newfoundland, a driver will receive two demerit points and a fine for ‘failure to stop at a stop sign'; and in Saskatchewan, ‘running a stop sign or red light’ will award a driver a fine and four demerit points. ‘Passing a school bus while loading or unloading children’ in Saskatchewan is six demerit points and a fine; and ‘failing to stop for a school bus while the red lights are flashing’ is eight demerit points and a fine in Prince Edward Island.5 K2 ^$ }* |; e/ H3 I
