At a place with this sign, I did not stop completely but passed through after slowing to a speed from which I could stop at once.
この標識のある場所で、完全には止まらず、すぐに停止できる速度まで落として通過した。
This statement is TRUE
Explanation
This is correct. Slow driving (jokou) means moving at a speed from which you can stop at once — a full stop is not required. Only the stop sign demands that.
