He didn't commit a crime (by traditional definition). What he did was fail to follow a rule which is used to detect crimes.

So technically, when I drive 65mph in a 55mph zone I'm not breaking the law, I'm merely "failing to follow it?"

Good example: If you'll note, only the most serious of traffic offenses are actually classified as crime. The specific charge of "failure to follow traffic signs" is one that "speeding" often gets converted to.
