I have definitely learned my lesson. From now on I just set it (cruise control) and forget it!Legal aid organizations are a great source of information. I am happy you found what you were looking for. Good luck with your petition to have your fine waived for your traffic ticket.
Once you have your California speeding ticket resolved (however it is eventually resolved) and you are able to drive legally again, I recommend you pay careful attention to all speed limits so you don't find yourself in the same (or worse) position again.
