Are you contending that a cell phone is not a wireless telephone because it contains other features besides a telephone? A wireless telephone is any phone without a landline. What other features it...
The law says that the only allowable use of a wireless telephone while driving is hands-free listening and talking, correct? Therefore any contact, or indeed any other use, is by definition illegal!...
I'm certainly not TG's biggest fan, but in this case, I agree with his assessment. The language of the law is crystal clear, and the Spriggs case law clarifies it even further. The OP held the phone...
Where were you cited? It's possible the officer intended to cite you for 22349(b) instead.
You can use the DMV's online system to change your address, but you should also check with the court towards the end of this week or early next week to make sure they have your current address on...
I've been to several arraignments in Alameda County, and every single time, the judge/commissioner has offered fine reductions for pleading guilty when allowable (e.g. not red light camera tickets)....
What vehicle code section were you cited for?
Traffic school can only be used to remove one point every 18 months. Therefore, you could ask the judge for traffic school, but there'd be no point since it won't affect anything.
When you mention a stoplight, were you stopped at a red?
What will that prove though? He Lidared you at 87mph, and wrote your approximate speed at 75mph+. He could even just testify that he visually estimated your speed at 75mph, and you're still sunk. I...
22356 means that the road would have to be posted for 70mph. SB 280 is posted for 65mph max (i.e. not PF), so 22356 is irrelevant, as is the ETS. All the officer has to prove is that he Lidar-ed you...
There's also mandatory community service to go along with the fine, if memory serves.
"Oh, another personal attack" was a realistic factual description of your posts, both in this thread and elsewhere. I have never once insulted you, derogated you, or anything of the sort. Since I...
If you don't mind, could you point out what was construed as me attacking TG?
What incorrect VC are you referring to? You were cited for 22349(a), which is exceeding the 65mph statutory max speed limit, but you were fined as if you had been charged for exceeding the 45mph...
Okay, but when the officer mentioned the survey during his testimony, what exactly did he say? The officer has to produce either the original survey, or a certified copy of the survey. Did he have...
Wait, there was a recent case that ruled contrary to Sprigg -- that GPS use is not a violation of 23123(a)?
That is the court case I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what you mean by "in direct opposition"? Spriggs pretty much confirms that any use of a cell phone in a non-hands-free manner is a violation...
I forget the name of the case, but a recent CA court case determined that using your phone applies to more than just making calls or texting -- it also applies to checking a map, or using the phone...
I'd be very interested to see what an appellate court says regarding the insufficient evidence claim, but from what you've posted, it seems to me like you might have a better chance attacking the...
Do you really have nothing better to do? I know that the 92W-880S onramp is metered for both the HOV lane and the regular lane. I assume, but do not know for sure, that the case is the same for the...
I don't know why the HOV lanes are metered. I didn't design the system. All I was relaying is that they are in fact metered, and my experience with that metering.
Wow, being proven wrong must have really shattered your ego, huh? Not a day goes by without some sort of disparaging comment about me, my appeal, the appellate judge who decided the case...pretty...
Some pertinent questions:
1) What did the officer say during his testimony?
2) Did he introduce the Engineering & Traffic Survey for the stretch of road where you were cited? For that matter,...
I haven't had to sit there long enough to discern an obvious pattern, but the HOV lane seems to be allowed to go more often than the non-HOV lane(s). The scenario I see the most is when there's a...
