You can answer "no". CWOF stands for Continued without a Finding. This means that while you admitted guilt the judge did not enter a finding of guilty. After you complied with the terms of probation the case was dismissed. Speeding and marked lanes are offenses and not crimes. You were not found guilty. You were found responsible.
