"Noticeably", by what definition. Yours? The law puts 1mph-15mph violations in the same speeding bracket. So if 63 in 55 is "noticeable" then so is 56 in 55. If that's what you believe, then cool you got me. And I never complained about being charged for 63 in a 55. If that's what the judge...

Oh my god. What kind of arguments are these? I only said that I thought the speed limit was 55mph. I even said that this is not an excuse literally in my next sentence - "Ignorance is not an excuse for breaking the law". But how convenient for you to leave this out. :rolleyes:I didn't say that I...

Dude what are you talking about.. I never said any of this. Did I say I'm intentionally speeding, 63 in a 30, as a way to somehow rebel against the law? I'll tell you what I told the officer. I honestly thought the speed limit was 55mph. Because this is the same as the other twisty road next...

Cool, I guess we should never question any speed limits because authorities have our best interests at heart.

Yes I'm aware it's not relevant for 22349(b), I mentioned it's for my own curiosity in my previous post. But now that you mention it, I may as well prepare in the event that the ticket is amended to 22350

The entire section of 9 that I screenshotted above is 30mph, unreasonable imo. Yes my comment about the speed survey was for my own curiosity. I'm actually wondering what the speed survey would look like for a road like 9. Would you happen to know where I can find these? From the city of...

Well since you brought car maintenance into the argument and didn't actually address my point about 30mph+8% being reasonable or not, I gave you a sarcastic answer using your own logic. That's how I arrived at that conclusion. Anyways you said that you drive at 8% max above the posted limit. So...

With that logic might as well limit all roads to 30mph, right? After all my car has brakes and a transmission and is capable of 30mph on any road

Hey you know what, come visit and drive the road and let me know what you think of the 30mph speed limit. If you are able to maintain 32.4 mph (30mph + 8%) and actually think that's reasonable, then I'll treat for dinner/beer

For what it's worth, here's the section of hwy9 I was driving on. I'll let you guess where the officer was waiting to pull people over. If you really believe that 30mph is reasonable for all sections of this road, then hey, hat's off to you. I think it's incredible that you would never exceed...

Well, if going 63mph on an empty, straight and downhill road is "barreling", then I guess you got me there. Then I guess I'd be barreling down any freeway at 63mph as well

Will have to agree to disagree on this one :) .For a road that has numerous elevation changes, and curvy and straight sections, I don't see how a single speed limit of 30MPH can cover all of those conditions. But it would be interesting to see the speed survey on that road.

"They can BOTH be correct". Yes this is understood now. I guess my point is that either 22349(b) or 22350 can be be correct, but not both. So the officer should have put 55mph as "P.F max speed" on the ticket if he wants to use 22349(b), if he believes that 22349(b) is a sure fire win

Ok that makes sense. If it is 63 in 55, I will accept this and do traffic school. If the officer pushes for 63 in a 30, then I would try to fight this with speed trap laws. Java, not sure if you've been on hwy 9. It is a curvy road with some straight sections. Guess where I was pulled over...

Still have some some confusion between 22349(b) and 22350 and which one is correct in my case. For those who are saying that the actual cvc # doesn't matter since I am guilty regardless, I disagree. If the ticket is amended to use 22350 instead of 22349, then speed traps come into play and my...
