I was responding to the comment by Edwards that he sees many drivers pausing at stop signs and then blowing through. I responded that a pause is all that is required. I don't know if he was criticizing them for "blowing through" because they weren't being cautious. If so they are wrong.

We can debate if rolling through at a mile per hour after looking carefully around is adequate or not, although not within the legal definition of the word "STOP".

I think Edwards and I are on the same page here. You seem to really feel that coming to a complete stop and carefully rolling through at a mile or two per hour makes a significant difference in the number of accidents. I say it doesn't matter at all. You just have to be careful. If you didn't come to a complete stop and that caused you to have an accident, then you just weren't careful enough.
