My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: California
A few weeks ago, I was given a ticket in violation of traffic code 22400 (a)
This states that:
Minimum Speed Law 22400.
(a) No person shall drive upon a highway at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, unless the reduced speed is necessary for safe operation, because of a grade, or in compliance with law.
No person shall bring a vehicle to a complete stop upon a highway so as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic unless the stop is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law.
(b) Whenever the Department of Transportation determines on the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that slow speeds on any part of a state highway consistently impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, the department may determine and declare a minimum speed limit below which no person shall drive a vehicle, except when necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law, when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected along the part of the highway for which a minimum speed limit is established.
I was given this ticket at 11:30pm on a Friday night. I was on a very busy street which is home to many bars that college students frequent, and thus is difficult to navigate under the best of circumstances. On the night I received the ticket, I was picking up a friend of mine from a bar because he had had too much to drink. When I was almost to the bar, he spotted me and ran across the street and jumped in my car. I braked because I did not want to hit him, and the whole process probably took about 1 minute. There were no cars behind me. There was a police officer at the stop sign on the block behind me, and he saw my brake lights flash. He pulled me over, and I went on to a side street where he issued me a ticket for impeding traffic.
Do I have any chance of fighting this??
