In the context of a stop sign violation with a hands-free device, which code is the primary charge?

• A. Speeding
• B. Stop sign violation 14-301a
• C. Stop sign violation 14-301c
• D. No charge

Answer: (C)

The main concept here is identifying which statute best describes the observed action: a driver failing to stop at a stop sign while using a hands-free device. The primary charge is the stop sign violation described by the traffic-control statute, because the core harm is disobeying a stop sign. In this jurisdiction, that is coded as 14-301c, which directly covers disobeying a traffic control device like a stop sign. The hands-free device detail doesn’t change the fundamental offense; it may be addressed separately under other provisions, but it doesn’t replace the stop-sign violation as the primary charge.

Speeding would require evidence of exceeding the speed limit, which isn’t indicated here, and no charge would be incorrect because the stop sign violation did occur. The other stop-sign-related code is a different classification, but the ballot-style primary charge that best fits the observed conduct is the stop sign violation under 14-301c.
