Today, I did a California stop during a drive with my Driver's Ed teacher. He made me get out, hug the stop sign and apologize to it. FML

As an Australian, I have no idea what a California stop is

Despite being the opposite of a California stop, I do think that acknowledging stop signs' feelings is vaguely Californian

It's called a Saint Louis Stop over here. Maybe nobody anywhere likes stop signs.

I'm from the St. Louis area. It's a rolling stop everywhere I've ever heard it.

If you do that with your driving instructor YDI. If you try that on your driving test you'll fail the test.

Haha in California, the majority of people don't fully stop at the stop signs. But, at least he didn't fail you OP!

It's drivers Ed..... Just follow the road laws to the fullest extent then forget it when you actually get hour license... Or don't that would be the better option... Just at the very least do it when you have an instructor in your car

YDI for trying it with a driving instructor in the car! Also, a California stop is called different things dependent upon where you are from. I'm from NC, we call them rolling stops. My husband grew up in GA and they called them Georgia stops.

The more understood term is a rolling stop.

You admit that you didn't actually stop for a stop sign and want sympathy because the teacher put you in your place? Please don't drive.

Actually, it's called a Michigan left-turn: for safety reasons, you never actually make a left-hand turn in the middle of the intersection itself; instead, you first make a right-hand turn (next move over to the left lane) and then a u-turn at the designated, purposely-created gap in the boulevard. Annoying at times, but still far safer AND no traffic jams/ long line of cars waiting to turn left. :-)
