State, 209 Ga. App. 59, 432 S.E.2d 825 (1993). Probable cause for arrest for violation. — Officer had probable cause to justify an arrest for failure to stop at a stop sign under Georgia law after the officer saw a suspect fail to properly stop and observed the vehicle go past the white line at the stop sign. Williams v. Deal, No. 311-061, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 114635 (S.D. Ga. Aug. 18, 2014). Violation prima facie establishes negligence. — Operation of a bus in a manner which constituted a violation of former Code 1933, § 68A-403 (see now O.C.G.A. § 40-6-72) prima facie established negligence per se in the absence of a valid defense. Johnson v. McAfee, 151 Ga. App. 774, 261 S.E.2d 708 (1979). Matters submitted to jury. — Existence of a stop sign though unofficial, and the failure of the plaintiff to heed the sign are relevant matters in a consideration of the diligence and negligence of the parties and such matters should be submitted to the jury. Tyson v. Shoemaker, 208 Ga. 28, 65 S.E.2d 163 (1951) (decided under Ga. L. 1939, p. 295). Jury instruction upheld. — Instruction stating ‘‘that the defendant has no duty to yield the right of way if you find that the defendant, after stopping and looking, could not see the automobile in which the plaintiff was riding as the defendant entered the roadway’’ was a correct statement of law. Humphreys v. Kipfmiller, 237 Ga. App. 572, 515 S.E.2d 878 (1999). Evidence sufficient. — Police officer’s testimony that the officer observed the defendant run a stop sign that was ‘‘clearly visible’’ to oncoming traffic was sufficient to authorize the trial court’s finding that the defendant was guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, of disregarding a stop sign. Evans v. State, 235 Ga. App. 877, 510 S.E.2d 619 (1999). Police officer’s observation that the stop of the vehicle the defendant was driving was executed after the vehicle went 40-6-72 through an intersection without stopping at a stop sign was sufficient to support defendant’s conviction for disregarding a stop sign and the state did not have to prove that the intersection did not have a ‘‘marked stop line,’’ ‘‘a crosswalk,’’ or a ‘‘point nearest the intersecting roadway’’ as described in O.C.G.A. § 40-6-72. Scott v. State, 254 Ga. App. 728, 563 S.E.2d 554 (2002). Evidence that the police observed the defendant running a stop sign just moments before the defendant engaged the police in a high-speed motor vehicle chase was sufficient to support the defendant’s conviction for failure to obey a stop sign. Arnold v. State, 262 Ga. App. 61, 584 S.E.2d 662 (2003). Evidence supported a defendant’s convictions for fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer as an underlying offense for felony murder, theft by taking, vehicular homicide, disregarding a traffic control device, failing to stop at a stop sign, and reckless driving as: (1) the defendant stole a vehicle and was spotted by an officer shortly after the vehicle was reported as stolen; (2) when the officer began to follow the vehicle, the vehicle rapidly accelerated; (3) the officer followed the stolen vehicle for several blocks, with both vehicles traveling between 60-70 miles per hour; (4) the vehicle continued to accelerate after the officer turned on the officer’s blue lights and siren; (5) when the stolen vehicle ran a red light, the stolen vehicle struck a car, killing the driver; and (6) the officer and the owner of the stolen vehicle identified the defendant as the person driving the stolen vehicle. Ferguson v. State, 280 Ga. 893, 635 S.E.2d 144 (2006). Appeals court found sufficient evidence to support the defendant’s convictions for DUI to the degree of being a less-safe driver and of failing to stop at a stop sign as the evidence, although not overwhelming, showed that the defendant smelled of alcohol, had run a stop sign, and that the arresting officer believed that the defendant was a less-safe driver as a result of alcohol consumption.
