My guess would be that only 10% of all vehicles come to a complete stop even when there is no cross traffic. I'll set up a chart.

I'll put a Y if they yield and an S if they stop.

I'll go to the intersection of Hendley and McLin later on. If I change my mind, I'll delete this.
10% for #1? I will take the under on that one. If you find any that actually come to a complete stop as defined by law, it is likely they forgot where they were going or are texting
