Only one person in 200 comes to a full stop? How did they measure that? Because that isn't my experience, or even vaguely sort-of close to it. 4-way stops, nearly everyone completely stops. So they would have had to delete 4-ways. Stop-before-merging often requires you to stop, because cars are coming. I guess if they used a stop sign on a country road as their test case, maybe it would be true, but I'm still doubting it. I've often had to stop behind fully-stopped cars at stop signs, where not only do they stop, but they take their time getting going again. 1 in 200? Just another Musk lie, I think.
The claim is that only 1 in 200 people come to a complete stop at all stop signs, not that only 1 in 200 completely stop at any given sign.
I wonder how they quantify "all stop signs". Is it .5% of drivers have never fail to come to a complete stop at a stop sign their entire life, after a thousand stop signs, over the course of a year, a week? It's a ridiculous statistic. I'm paranoid of the police so I rarely fail to come to a complete stop but maybe once a year or so I do.
If you don't come to a complete stop at an intersection, you risk liability or partial liability for someone who runs through without stopping at all. This happened to me, I almost came to a complete stop, but the other driver did not even slow down, and hit me, but the Insurance Company determined through arbitration that I was 20% at fault because I did not come to a complete stop.
It's not a simple matter of following the letter of the law comma it's a matter of risk and liability.
Not stopping at a stop sign is the same as running a red light.
There are of course low IQ drivers who will argue the silliness of it. But there is no need stoop to their levels.
Where I live you could turn 95% of the stop signs into yield signs and the only thing that would change would be the ability of the cops to pull you over at 2am on a desolate road in the middle of nowhere, just to extort money and fish for a reason to arrest you. Half the laws in this country exist for no other reason than to enable government/police profiteering.
