Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

I ran a red when my shoe got caught on the jagged edge of moulding left exposed after the pedals were converted with extensions to make it a driving school car. If I tell the judge this story and show photos of the unintentional situation, will the judge charge me for driving an unsafe vehicle? IF my car overheats, can I be blamed for driving an unsafe vehicle? I want to use this defense but not if it will cause greater problems for my employer.

Your proposed defense will not assist you in this matter. You are responsible for the condition of your car. You can refer to the Nolo Press book How to Fight Your Traffic Ticket for additional information.
