I really do empathize with this driver, especially now that we know he wasn’t on his phone or drinking.
I’ve blown a rural stop sign before, I didn’t realize it until I was midway through the intersection. There was no distraction or reason behind it, just a momentary lapse of concentration. I think it’s bound to happen to anyone who does enough driving, especially on the prairies with our straight, flat roads. Luckily in 99% of cases nothing bad like this happens.
