Rules of the Road

Suppose you're at a stop sign behind another car, and that car has, as cars will, pulled out further than it's supposed to, into a crosswalk or sort of half into the intersection, but it's still stopped. Your car sits at the white "ligne d’arrêt" (I don't know what it's called in English), where the front-most car is supposed to be, also stopped. There are no other cars in the intersection, and the car in front of you goes. Should you:

A) Follow the car in front of you with no pause, as though you were at a red light that had just turned green.

B) Wait a certain amount of time (how much?) , as though you had just arrived at the stop sign, then proceed.

C) Pull up to where the car in front of you was, treating that as the location of the stop sign, stop (complete stop, 3 seconds, of course) and then go ahead.

I'm torn. I think I actually do (C), but I also think that's least likely to be correct. Does it make a difference if there are other cars in the intersection? Should it?

Disintegration Watch

When I press on the part of my face that lies over my canine tooth, the lip on that side goes numb. It didn't used to be that way.
