At least that's what the officer told my son when he failed him on his driving test. I was in the back seat and he came to a complete stop. At the end of the test, that's when the guy said he had to count to three before proceeding. He was very nice about it and acknowledged that I slowed to almost a complete stop and looked both ways before proceeding, so there was no ticket or official warning.
