Excellent answer! Thank you, you know your stuff.

@ Asker: You are most welcome. And thank you for the feedback.

Either way, as to your citation, the best defense for any traffic citation anywhere is to hire a local traffic ticket lawyer. In the 305, where I have been a practicing criminal defense lawyer for 23+ years, I can tell you for certain that there are many skilled and experienced traffic lawyers who know the law, the procedure, the Judge and probably the cop. In short you will almost certainly get both competent representation and a better result for a relatively small fee / investment. Please hire one.
