My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: California.

The officer in question cited me for a violation of 22349(a) on the 126 highway in Southern California. He alleges that I was travelling 76 MPH (when I was maybe doing 69/70) and I was travelling at the same speed of traffic of three other vehicles nearby.

It is important to note that the speed limit on the entire stretch of the 126 does not anywhere exceed 55.

My question concerns whether I can contest the ticket because he wrote up the 'Max Spd' (and not the 'P.F.') at 65, with the Safe Speed at 55? Now maybe he was doing me a "favor" by upping the safe speed, but at $332, I'm thinking they may have calculated the fine on the 55 MPH anyway.

Thoughts?

Thanks to any and all for weighing in as I have to make a decision on whether or not to contest in the next few days.
