22350 says you can't drive at an unsafe speed. The posted speed limit is what we call a "prima facie" limit. A speed that has been determined to be unsafe to exceed "on its face" without needing other justification.

Unless you're violating a "maximum speed" (55 MPH on highways, etc...), 22350 is what you will be charged with for any speed limit violation.

Your basic options:

1. If you're offered traffic school and you want to avoid the point and your insurance company hearing about it, take traffic school.

2. If you want to mount a defense, you get two chances...a written Trial by Declaration and a real "in court" trial.
