Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

The Traffic Commisoner will grant the continuance unless you could show some prejudice to you. If you were going on vacation would you not wnat to get the matter continued?

Even while driving under the speed limit [which merely is the maximum speed that can be traveled], one can be speeding based upon the road conditions and what you are doing. Driving 40 mph on an ice covered roadway is speeding. He probaby thought that with the lap top on your lap you did not have full control of the car. You need to be able to show the court that it would not slide off your lap, interfer with the steering wheel, or have any other effect on ;your driving. Have a good explanation why you did not put it on the passenger seat or elsewhere. Explain that there were no unusal movements of your car, it was under your complete control, you were stopped because he thought you were typing and when he was convinced that that was not the case, he cited you for speeding as he could not think of any other possible violations. Argue the citation is for the wrong offense and should be dismissed [should have been for unsafe driving].
