Got a speeding ticket...advice?

[JERRY2KONE]

A young man is driving down the street two blocks from his house and approaches a stop sign. He slows down to a crawl, looks both ways and accelerates through the intersection within the speed limit.

An officer watching from around the corner pulls up behind teh driver and pulls him over.

The officer approaches the driver and asks if he knows why he was being stopped.

The driver says no I have no idea.

The officer informs the driver that he did not stop at the stop sign, and still continued through the intersection.

The driver insists that he slowed to a crawl and looked both ways carefully moving through the intersection.

The officer takes out his baton and begins to beat the man over the head continuously saying the sign says STOP.

The driver yells out stop, stop, please stop, stop.

The officer begins to ask the driver, does that mean stop, or does it mean slow down.

I'm sure you get the point.
