My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of California and a presumed violation of vehicle code 22350.
Here is the situation. My wife was driving on a freeway near our home, the posted speed limit is 65 miles per hour and she was driving 65 miles per hour, which is the speed recorded on the ticket.
As she was driving she jotted a note down on a pad of paper with one hand while steering with the other. The officer pulled her over for violating vc22350 which has to do with the conditions of the road and safe speeds in those conditions.
The officer stated that he witnessed her using two hands to write on a pad of paper, failing to keep any hands on her steering wheel. That the safe speed to do so was 0 mph and therefore she was violating vc22350. We are contesting the ticket because that explanation seems strange.
I was thinking we would point out that writing a note doesn't actually create a condition of the road, that she was only using 1 hand, and that she was not creating a danger to any other drivers as she kept her eyes on the road and wrote without looking at the paper.
Any advice about the situation, it seems like the VC is used outside the context it was written in, but I feel like his explanation for giving it doesn't make sense...
Ticket is over 300 so we are going to write a letter to contest it.
