Re: Ticketed for going flow of traffic

You did not violate the Basic Speed Law (VC 22350) because you were going at the same speed as the rest of the traffic. You did violate the 70 MPH maximum state speed limit. You could go to traffic school, or fight the ticket (read the Nolo Press book Fight Your Ticket). Maybe the judge will buy your explanation, or even better, maybe the cop won't show up.
