FAQ

Is a very slow roll acceptable at a stop sign?

No. You need a complete stop before the line, then move only when safe.

Should I stop again after creeping forward?

If visibility is blocked, yes. Initial legal stop first, then a controlled secondary stop.

How can I prove a full stop to myself?

Use a one-count pause and confirm the horizon is stable before release.

Does this error matter if the road is empty?

Yes. The score is about legal and consistent behavior, not traffic volume.
