Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

Right to a speedy trial - speeding ticket......

I was ticketed for 80mph in the carpool lane on a posted 65mph maximum. I am guilty - I was speeding. Ticket date from CHP is 4-28-07 - original court date was 7-14-07 but got a change in the mail for 8-14-07. Can I fight this based upon my arraignment/court date being greater than 45 days?

I was also told that arraignment is when you sign the ticket as the officer shows up at your court date as witness. Is this true? TIA.
