California stop

The California Stop is the illegal driving habit of slowing down but not coming to a full and complete stop at a stop sign [ [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=california+stop| Urban Dictionary] ] [ [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/California_stop| Wiktionary Definition] ] . It has been described as "Kind of slowing just enough to- ... and then you go on".

California Stops are quite common [ [http://www.barcelonareview.com/52/e_pc.htm| California Stop] ] , and one survey at a random California intersection found that only 16.67% of California drivers came to a full and complete stop [ [http://edhat.com/html/california_stop.html| Santa Barbara Survey] ] .

The California stop can also refer to a PIT maneuver.
