Absolutely not.

No.

Rolling = in motion
Stop = no motion

There is no such thing as a "Rolling sign".


JERRY L
NO!

A "rolling" stop (aka, a "California" stop) isn't a legal stop.

You have to come to a complete stop.

No such thing as a rolling stop. You either are stopped or you are moving.

Think about what you just asked. Stop means stop. Pure and simple. There is no such thing as a "rolling stop". You either stopped your you didn't. If you don't stop, you're subject to a ticket if observed.

Where people come up with the idea that not stopping is the same as stopping just boggles the mind!

A roll is a roll. A stop is a stop. A rolling stop is just a roll that is made when people forget to stop. or are dumb, or are unsafe drivers.

Can someone be "sort of" pregnant ? If not, then you can't be "stopping" if you are still "rolling", right? "STOP" means the car is not moving, wheels are not turning. "Rolling" means the car is in motion and the wheels are still turning.

NO. You are either stopped, or not stopped.

If you have to ask, then you weren't paying attention in driver's ed. Stopping at the stop sign means stopping at the stop sign. Always has, always will.


Me again
Hand over your license. You are too immature to drive. In your life, you will hear many people say "there's no such thing as a stupid question". These people are wrong. You remind me of my stepson. He's 17. The other night I told him to be home by 10. Now to most people, the meaning of that directive is crystal-clear. Except to him. You know what he said? He said, and he was dead serious when he said it, "You mean the hour of 10, or 10 o'clock?" The reason he asked me this is because he honestly thought that as long as the number 10 was part of what time it was, between 10:00 and 10:59, he was not late. I cannot fathom how any of today's teens will be able to survive past 18. In fact, my mother, a very wise second grade teacher, says that all children should be kept in boxes with holes punched in the lid. The day they turn 18, you tape over the holes. As for me, every day I pray for the draft to be reinstated.

What part of stop don't you understand? It means come to a complete stop. If your moving your not stopped. If you still have question, look in Websters Dictionary for meaning of stop.

no it is not considered stopping. if a police sees you not making a complete stop, whether there are other cars at the stop sign or not, you will get pulled over.

As a cop, I can tell you that a rolling stop is illegal. Your tires on your vehicle must cease all motion when YOU approach the stop sign.

A. A rolling stop is an oxymoron (look it up).
B. You're just a moron if you have to ask such a question.

No. My driving instructor said to spell out the word s-t-o-p after coming to a complete stop.

No. Physically, there's no such thing as a "rolling stop." You either stopped or you didn't.

No.

A vehicle must stop at a Stop Sign.

A "rolling stop" is a technique use for drivers "who are in a hurry".

No it isn't a stop, but you can usually flirt your way out of a ticket. If that doesn't work you can yell at him, both have worked for me. pulled over 50 to 60 times & only 2 tickets. Yep it's great. If in an accident, cry, I have gotten out of 2 tickets w/ that one. Trust me I hit a cop car & got out of it. Of course that was when I was young.
