Hi I had a quick question. I am a college student and actually unable to afford to hire a lawyer but at the same time think I may have had a ticket written up that should not have been. So I am just looking for advice.
Today I got a ticket as I left my new house (I just moved to bakersfield, CA). I was maybe a quarter mile out of the driveway when I was stopped by a motorcycle officer who was off his bike and out in the middle of the road waving at me to pull over as I approached him, which I did. He told me he clocked me at 43 in a 25, and asked for my information. He cited me for Speeding CVC 22350, and a seatbelt ticket as I had not yet put my belt on, (very stupid of me admittedly). Anyhow I know the cvc 22350 is the basic speed law. I was under the impression you could exceed the posted speed if it was not dangerous to do so. this was a clear, dry day, it was near a high school (next to the football field but no school in session or extracurriculars going on at all) on a Saturday and nobody was around traffic was light etc. I dont think 43 was all that unsafe at all for the conditions. Is this something I should fight? Does anyone win doing this? Any advice? I would appreciate any help. Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
Not In Need Of A Ticket! lol
