Default Some roll stops worse than others

Again, there are bikers that flaunt the rules of the road just like there are car driver and cart drivers that do. No excuse for any of them.
The closest I came to an accident in my 3 years was a driver coming out of the tunnel on Morse, near the first tee of Havana Kilimanjaro. I was going south on Morse, headed to Colony Cottage. As I was almost down the hill, tunnel on my right, out comes a cart, quick look right, quick look left and go, rolling stop at 2-3 MPH. I have no idea how I missed them or the far tunnel wall, but ended up in the tunnel without a scratch to anyone. They said sorry and left, I learned to drive a lot more defensively.

I agree folks roll stop (all mode of transport) in lots of places, but in a tunnel? There is simply not enough time to look both ways and process the info coming out of a tunnel.
