As for this 'tapping' phone idea, who cares. Why should it be illegal? It can't be any more dangerous than looking for your bank card in a wallet or trying to find where that last 5c piece went.

As for stop signs, they're a waste of time. I don't check any better at a stop sign than I do at a giveway. If anything I look better at giveway signs because you can keep moving if it's clear.
As for 4 way stop sign, **** me what a joke. We are luckily enough to be one of the only places in NSW with 4 way stop signs. No one knows how to use them though.

4 way stop sign is easy. He who flinches, loses.

I'm often amazed at how fast I can come to a full-stop and back to 60 in my XR6T.

If you want four-way stop mayhem, just check out the Russian dashcam channels. Messy.

so, consensus is that it's technically illegal, but no real hazard and it would be a bastard cop that fined you for it. Is that about right?

So what happens when the vendor / supplier also implants the electronic version of the EFTPOS machine on their genitals.... will the 18 year old need to rub their genitals on the vendors genitals to make the transaction ??

I can just about see that taking off in dodgy clubs.

More generally, I see parallels with being in a relationship!

No, i think that this is the general consensus.......
