What is the name of your state? CA
I was cited for speeding last month.
I was driving on CA-84 westbound towards Dumbarton bridge. The CHP officer stopped me before the bridge (in front of the KGO transmitter building, or "W/OF KGO" as the officer wrote on the ticket). However he cited the code of 22405(a), which is about "Exceeding Maximum Posted Speeds on Bridge/Tube/Tunnel".
My question is, since I wasn't on the bridge yet, did he cite the right code?
(Or does the bridge extend to non-bridge part of the highway?)
If not, can I plead not guilty because of that?
Also he cited me driving in 81 at 55mph limit. This causes me not eligible for traffic school and hence point of conviction on my record. But my colleague on passenger seat noticed we were going about 75 (on the speedometer) when we saw the patrol vehicle. I started to slow down immediately. So I really doubt I was going 81. How should I do if I want to plead guilty with a reduction of punishment? I hope to at least be able to waive the record by attending the traffic school.
Which direction should I go in terms of better chance of success?
Any advice is welcome.
Thank you very much!
