I would like the judge to admit that dangerous driving is the Sherriff's policy to induce a driver into a careless driving ticket.

Claim you were afraid it was someone with malicious intent following you to rob you or car jack you. You were in reasonable fear of your property and well being and slowing down or pulling over only would have put you in more risk.
I used that defense when some guy was pacing me on the freeway on my way home one night. I slowed down, he slowed down. I sped up a bit, he sped up. I had no clue what his intentions were, but I wasn't about to find out. I jetted up ahead and left him behind but around the corner was a cop. When he pulled me over, my wife and I both explained what happened. He let us off, but told us next time to pull over or call the police. I explained I had a conceal and pulling over might have resulted in something far worse.
