I do not live in an Idaho stop state, but I do it regularly.

    OOOOK… I clearly stated that it’s legal where I live, and I only do it when it’s completely safe, and yet I’ve nearly been murdered by entitled drivers for doing so.

    Also, the article linked in this very thread says that Idaho stops increase safety when all parties are aware of the law.

      legal where I live

      That’s nice for you, the other 98% of drivers have never even heard of an Idaho stop.

      That’s where the danger comes from, a novel way to use a stop sign that is not common practice, ie people don’t expect it causing hazards 🤷
