Why is it that people on this forum are so okay with this, but freak out when they see someone do a rolling stop? It's as if some only want to enforce rules that are convienent for them, and make the rules that stand in their way "frivolous". It's really infuriating.
ViewFromThe42 makes a good point about rolling stops as well.
But actually, I would add, that I don't really complain about rolling stops per se, in that I think most of our intersections should be yield's instead (use of the incorrect traffic control device bugs me too, but necessitated by drivers treating yields sign as green lights). What bothers me, certainly, and I suspect many others, is the fact that drivers do rolling stops 99% of the time, but when a cyclist does the same, all of a sudden, it's because cyclists are "scofflaws"...and the resulting vitriol that comes with that.
