denmark has few bike fatalaties per capita and nobody wears helmets.
cars all roll stop signs too, its normal and fine usually.
Rolling stop signs is empirically one of the most dangerous things you can do on the road.
Have any data to back that up?
70% of accidents near stop sign intersections are from stop sign violations: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14733981
Other sources will show 3000+ deaths per year from stop sign violations.
The study doesn't differentiate between blowing through a stop sign and a rolling stop. You're drawing the conclusion you want, not what the data says.
"70% of accidents near stop sign intersections are from stop sign violations"
Wow, who would have thought?
On a bicycle or in a car?
I ignore stop signs (and red lights) on a bike. I ignore certain stop signs (not all!) in a car.
Never felt unsafe doing either one.
