I notice that drivers don't make complete stops at stop signs. What is the reason? If you are guilty of this, please explain yourselves.

I've heard the rolling stop excuse many times, and I say the same thing everytime. That's the reason there are "yield" signs which do not require a complete stop. I failed my first driver's license for failing to yield a "yield" sign, believe it or not. Maybe that's why I always make complete stops at stop signs now. (I "ran" the yield sign by the way, and the teacher immediately terminated the test, and told me to stop at the corner. Depression set in, and I stayed that way, ...until about 4 days later when I completed my test successfully.)

California stop: Yeah, I live in California too, and hear the same thing. The reason why they call it California stop, is because...you live in California. When I went to school New Jersey in my teens, they had no idea what I was talking about when I used that term. But I do also hate the "stop behind the other person, no reason to stop bs" too.

Car Man will look to make sure that he doesn't see a car, but I'll bet my brake pads he won't see the motorcycle!
Who do you think kills us all the time?
The CAR who should have looked at the STOP sign/light.
And ALL the right turn on red exceptions clearly state "after stop".

I don't know why drivers do this. It hate it too. What p's me off is the drivers who drive right through a stop sign after the driver in front of them has gone through. It's like they think that "hey, I already stopped behind this guy, I don't need to stop again." These are one of many kind of drivers who are dangerous on the road.
By the way, even though I've lived in California I have heard the term "California stops" which is where the driver doesn't fully stop. It's like a rolling stop. Why it's called "California stop" I don't know.

No, you are not required to show it. Unless their is reasonable suspesion that you have broken a law, or are about to break a law it is a violation of the US Constitution to ask you far an ID. A "rolling-stop" is not a stop. They ran a stop-sign. The driver is required.

It is illegal not to make a complete stop at a stop sign. Failure to do this could result in a moving violation. Often people come to what's called "a rolling stop". This means that they slow down at the stop sign but do not come to a complete stop. I got a ticket for this on one occasion, so beware!

This is called a rolling stop.
Although it's technically a violation of the law -- "stop" means stop -- there is seemingly no need to stop when you can clearly determine, without completely stopping, that there are no cars at or approaching the intersection. The purpose of the stop sign is satisfied, but the law isn't.

I have asked several people this question and they all said the same thing. "It wasn't my shade of red." Except one guy and he really had a good excuse." My brakes are worn out and I don't want to make them any worse by using them so much."

Why fully stop if nobody is there?
Less stop, less cost to accelerate back up to speed.
