Stopping at a stop sign seems pretty straightforward. Just hit the brakes, look both ways and go. But there’s a lot more to it, something that many of us might not think about as we drive through our daily routines. Attorney Bowers from Bowers Law will dive into this topic in this podcast episode. He’ll talk about all those extra steps we should be taking after we stop—like really watching for cross traffic, making sure pedestrians are safe to cross, and double-checking blind spots at tricky intersections.
Attorney Bowers will also explain why these extra precautions are not just good driving habits but also crucial for keeping us out of legal trouble. He’ll explain how skimping on these responsibilities can increase our liability if an accident happens—even if we thought we did everything by the book by stopping at the sign.
This episode is perfect for anyone who’s behind the wheel regularly. It’s about becoming more aware of our surroundings and understanding our more profound responsibilities every time we drive. Whether you’re a new driver or have been on the road for years, there’s something in this discussion for everyone to make our streets safer and avoid needless accidents.
