I am all for replacing all intersections with round-abouts. But as long as there are stops signs. It is important to stop.
But if you first stopped at a stop sign and then proceeded because you did not see the oncoming motorcycle and it results in a death, then you should NOT be charged with reckless homicide? Seems like the problem was entering the intersection into the path of the oncoming motorcycle and not whether your tires stopped rotating for some undefined period of time.
