If you weren't a driver, you might not see anything wrong with that procedure, to ensure a vehicle comes to a full and complete stop.
Much better analogy, thanks!
Although I understand that in some places, “STOP” means “stop for at least 2 seconds” which I think is ridiculous. It’s really just a way to make it crystal clear that police are allowed to ticket perfectly safe behaviour.
