This is my first poll. Hope it goes good. I am just wondering on how many people actually stop. I know I do the Cali stop.

I usually come to a complete stop, unless I'm in an area that pretty rural or suburbia with no cops around. Then I'll just do a rolling stop otherwise. smile.gif

I rarely roll through. Less than 3% of the time.
When I was on my permit, I rolled through a stop sign and totaled three cars. T-boned a minivan into its oncoming traffic and it spun an F250 backwards above 30 feet and sideways into the ditch. Expensive way to learn that lesson, but it worked.
Saved me one time on base when a cop tried to pull me over for drunk driving at 2am. I'd rolled past the stop line, but changed my mind, and stopped before I rounded the corner. When He pulled me over, I pointed that that I HAD changed my mind and stopped KNOWING that cops were likely to watch that intersection as they often did. He ended the traffic stop with a "Well, next time you need to stop." I retorted "I just told you I did!". He walked away and I drove off base.

Exactly.
