The driver's reaction time is 1.5 s and the vehicle can decelerate at a maximum of \(5\ \text{m/s}^2\). Determine whether the driver can bring the vehicle to a complete stop before the sign. If the driver fails to stop, state the statutory penalty (fine and demerit points) for failing to obey a stop sign.
