My question involves traffic court in the State of: CA
Hello
On March 17th I was stopped in San Francisco on Highway 1 doing 61 mph in a 45 mph zone and was given a ticket for CVC 22350 - Unsafe Speed. I understand from the Bail and Penalties schedule that there are higher penalties for being 16 mph over v 15 mph over the speed limit.
My question is: Can I contest this on the basis of the fact that there is always some margin of error (2-4 mph for Radar/ Lidar depending on stationary or moving) and so I am being given a higher penalty (16-25 MPH) even though I may well have been guilty of a lesser offence (1-15 MPH)?
Thanks
