Anyone familiar with driving in Los Angeles knows that when it's safe to do so (e.g., when there is no cross traffic on a turn), a rolling stop is extremely common. So common that it is plausible that people behind you might honk if you insist on doing a full stop and then cautiously proceed. Especially during rush-hour Anyone who drives in LA during rush hour knows that it is never safe to do a rolling stop, because during rush hour there is going to be cross traffic and you need to check that there is cross-traffic at the intersection before turning. I've witnessed a lot of accidents where some moron thought that saving 3 seconds was more important than safety, and rolled right in front a car that had the right-of-way, or into a pedestrian in the crosswalk that the driver hadn't seen.
