A guy is driving along, and comes to a stop sign.
He reduces his speed to almost zero, then resumes driving.
A cop pulls him over for blowing a stop sign.
The resulting incident goes something like this:

"But officer, I slowed down!"
"Yes, but you didn't stop."
"But I slowed down!"
"You have to stop."
After a few more interactions like this, the cop is frustrated that the guy just won't understand, and drags the guy out of the car, and starts hitting him with his nightstick and says,
"Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"

When you come up to a stop sign and just slow down and keep going that is called a California Pit Stop.

I remember when I went to take my driver's test and came to the stop sign at the end of the test, I stopped at the stop sign and counted to 5 slowly and then proceeded.

Yes, I passed the test.
 
I wish that cop patrolled my neighborhood. I live on a T-intersection with stops on all three sides. More people than not don't stop. Some don't ever see it, some see it but ignore it.
 
I heard it as a NY lawyer and a Alabama state trooper.

In the early 60's my father-in-law was stopped in a small town intersection late at night and tried to talk the local officer out of writing. Finally he asked cop what the difference in stopping instead of just slowing waaaay down was. As he continued to write the cop said "Bout $25.00".
