Default In MA, Stop means Stop, (or at least it did)...

Are the laws different in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York different? Are rolling stops the laws in these states? The car slows down but keeps rolling/moving right through a stop sign.

Are stop sign laws different in those states?
My son got his license in MA when we lived there 7 yrs ago. On his first time taking the driving license test, they flunked him because he came to a stop either on or slightly over the white stop line before the light or stop sign. He failed the 2nd time because his parallel park wasn't completely within the parking box next to the sidewalk, (one tire was slightly over the line). The 3rd time, he passed, thank goodness. There were definitely sticklers out there, at least 7 yrs ago.
