FWIW, it is not my case to fight. And I was in traffic court in WA only 3 times, so my experience is limited (though I have a feeling that few folks on this thread besides Brendan and Speedy were even 3 times in WA traffic court). In these 3 times I saw judges make a good effort to hear out the defendants when they are not putting up BS arguments, and accepting the defendants testimony when prosecution does not object to it. And prosecution is frequently not present when defendants are not represented by a lawyer. Out of all the defenses discussed on this forum, I would feel most confident with this one. This defense is not a technicality, it is actually arguing that you are following the law. I seriously doubt that a judge in WA traffic court would really expect proof from the defendant about the speed of the bikes, or analysis why they feel their speed was justified under this statute. Let's see how this case actually turns out.
