The time discrepancy is a minor clerical error and can be amended by the officer prior to court or in court.
Under CVC 22349(a), 65 MPH is the maximum allowable speed limit on a highway, unless a speed survey has been conducted that justifies raising it to 70 MPH. No survey is required for 65 MPH.
If the speed limit is 65 MPH and you acknowledge setting your cruise control for 75 MPH, you have admitted the violation. Now, the only thing in dispute is the 6 MPH difference between what speed you think you were going and what you were cited for. Even then, we are onlyu talking abvout a few dollars difference in the fine.
A couple quick questions with respect to the accuracy of your speed perceptions. When was the last time the speedometer was calibrated on the car you were driving? (I drive relative new cars and mine are off by several MPH in the 60 to 80 MPH range.) Next, is it possible you were on a downgrade when the officer measured your speed? Remember, cruise controls maintain a minimum set speed, but when you exceed that speed (like when going on a downgrade) all they will do is lift off the gas. They will not apply the brakes to slow the car down.
