Comment: Nearly rear-ended at Stop Sign at KY 704 & KY 55

By Charles Marshburn
I was almost rear ended yesterday because I had the audacity to stop at the stop sign. NOBODY in front of me or behind me stopped at the sign. Folks tend to ignore signs and traffic laws when they are not enforced by the authorities. - Charles Marshburn
Mr. Marshburn - Thanks. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this driving behavior in Adair County, or if this is an isolated case? - CM
