You really need to come to a complete stop? Ridiculous.
In fact many states have changed their laws to allowing "rolling stops". That is in no way driving unsafely.
Why don't we start talking about something important that actually does affect the safety of others. How about mandatory testing for drivers over 65? How many elderly drivers are out there that can't see or have poor reaction time?
65 not that old 85 maybe. older people as the same rights are people under 65. Maybe we need to put age limit on guitar playing cause over 50 can't cut it any more! same rational your 65 and over testing IMO>. One box don't fit all. that's why they have points deductions to we out the unsafe drivers when they get tickets.
