Illegal to pull out of driveway without stopping?
My friend got a ticket for not stopping at the end of their driveway. Meanwhile nobody was coming remotely close, 25mph speed limit, very rural quiet road. The technical name for it was "improper driveway merge" or something like that. Anyone else think that is BS?
I mean I also live on a 25mph, quiet, rural road and don't stop unless somebody is coming. But then again this is Long Valley, where nothing big happens so cops don't have much to do.

That's Long Valley area cops in a nutshell. Bored, and sometimes compounded with bad moods.
and how is it unsafe if nobody is coming close? She slowed down, but nobody was coming anywhere near the driveway, so she went.

You don't have a stop sign at the end of your driveway 
And I, for one, know that they never preached such a thing in driver's ed or anywhere else for that matter.

If he wants to fight the ticket that's what he can say. Look for it in the NJ driver's manual.

Well, technically you should have used "her driveway", not "their driveway".

Did she use a directional when she made the turn out of her driveway? Technicly one is supposed to use a "blinker" for any type of turn. Coming to anytype of uncontrolled intersection one is supposed to make a full stop and see if anybody is coming unless otherwise posted.
Yeah it sounds dumb, it is pretty mean but all in all he was just doing his job. And oviously the police officer was in some tyupe of close proximity to where your friend exited her driveway inorder for him to issue the summons.

I think the only time you don't have to stop is if you there are no stop signs posted and you are entering private property, like what Mike said because malls and big parking lots are often regulated by traffic laws.

WHAT! Your town must be in some major need of funds.
If it wasnt a moving violation, Id even be more pissed. It would cost you more to go to court to fight it then just pay the ticket, which is what they just want you to do anyway.
