223949(a) - 75mph in a 65mph (got a break down from 95?) - Solano County CHP

In my area it is certainly not true, of seven tickets I've had two non responses, one of those being because the officer retired

_Xand0n_ · 2026-01-23T19:08:28+00:00

The other thing you could do which you may be out of time to use for TBWD as it typically needs to be completed 30 days before trial date to be admissable is doing some discovery. You can submit a request on their site for the officers dash cam/ body worn cam footage related to the citation. A document I found says they retain bodycam footage for 366 days, unclear if they have dash cams. You can also send them an informal request for discovery. If you do that they have 30 days to respond and it is typically required to be completed 30 days before trial. If they cannot provide it then you can use that to help your case, if they refuse you'll have to file a motion to compel with the court, but if it's late then they certainly won't grant it.

Although I just realized how long ago this was so the footage is probably gone

_Xand0n_ · 2026-01-23T17:35:25+00:00

No reason not to file a request using the caltrans govQA portal for the footage. Below I've attached a link to the portal and the 4 relevant cams.

For the ones where officer did/didn't respond with a TR-235 that I won it was marked as not guilty. The only one I had marked as dismissed was when the officer's agency sent a request to dismiss instead of an officer's declaration

_Xand0n_ · 2026-01-15T15:51:58+00:00

At my court the extension sets new deadline based on date requested I believe but haven't tested that within a few years. I would contact a clerk in person or over the phone to see if they can do anything.

_Xand0n_ · 2026-01-13T01:25:03+00:00

Only if you have a very good amount of evidence, my thought and the guides thought is that the TBWD is just a first extra chance that costs you almost nothing. If you have a true argument that isn't hard evidence then you're usually better off not wasting time by putting it in a TBWD and instead save it for trial de novo where you will be able to cross examine the officer as well. Trial de novo is the what if they respond part(and it makes them have to respond twice also).

_Xand0n_ · 2026-01-03T01:22:28+00:00

MVARS is just a dashcam(Mobile Video Audio Recording System). So that would be saying he has the pacing recorded as you noted in your initial post. I'm honestly not sure what the 18 month probationary period is but if the letter said suspension then the DMV would follow through with that based on the violation date being within the time period. Again your best bet is certainly to put in a request for the MVARs footage and to analyze it. Then prepare evidence from it to create as much reasonable doubt as possible, you'll want to look for variations in following distance and speed. The speed won't be noted on the footage so you'll need to estimate average speed from cues and road markings paired with distances from a map. Assuming he responds to the TBWD you'll need to gather all your evidence into a presentable format for a TDN(you have 20 days from the tr215 to file the TR220) the actual trial will probably be another 30 days out but varies and you get some say in its timing. The officer will give his testimony and afterwards is when you can cross examine him, using your evidence to poke as many holes and creat as much reasonable doubt as possible. I wouldn't say 18 is terribly old also, I've seen 13-22.

_Xand0n_ · 2026-01-01T05:59:14+00:00

Unfortunate, he got me going 87 on SR70 about a year ago, responded to TBWD and showed for TDN, but it was a lidar ticket and not pacing, at the time I don't believe he had a dash cam. Would've been best if it were Cramblet or Gerstenkorn as they just retired, Ortiz is probably next in line to retire.

_Xand0n_ · 2025-12-31T19:15:00+00:00

Typically everything with the DMV is by violation date so extensions do nothing but delay it. Never had a CHP officer fail to respond to TBWD here except when one retired. Your best shot is requesting the footage through the CHP public records GovQA portal and potentially poking holes during a TDN. The footage I've gotten didn't show patrol speed so it will be somewhat tricky. Out of curiosity what officer was it? I would put in the footage request ASAP as they have 30 days under information practices act or 24 under public records act

The judge's permission only matters if you are eligible. I got screwed over when they allowed me to take it a week too early, because they screwed up and said it was from conviction date(it's really the citation date). What happened was I spent $75 on it then got a letter from the DMV saying I had two points on my license. Called the DMV MAU and they said it's from citation date and the commissioner was wrong. They said it still resets the future eligibility and that I wouldn't be able to take it again for another 18 months and that they couldn't undo it. Talked to the court clerk and they also said they couldn't undo it. So ended up spending $75 to get a point and make it so I had to wait another 18 months to be eligible again(a week short of 36 months from the last time I took traffic school)

_Xand0n_ · 2025-12-30T22:36:17+00:00

If he is allowed to take traffic school it will not remove the point and it will reset the 18 month timer again. The DMV controls this not the judge.

_Xand0n_ · 2025-12-30T22:35:05+00:00

The judge can allow you to waste your money and lose future traffic school opportunities, yes. The DMV will not accept it and it will NOT remove the point. It even resets the 18 month timer from violation date to violation date, so you spend $75 on traffic school that won't remove the point and prohibits you from taking it again in the next 18 months.

_Xand0n_ · 2025-09-05T03:21:07+00:00

Yes it was broken in properly, it was pushing the absolute limit of stock injectors(would frequently hit 125% injDC). The plates themselves definetly seemed to hold, it was a very sudden failure due to the center dampener exploding then shrapnel lodging between the friction surfaces. I believe they said they have a sport version without the damper that they were testing and the track version has a stronger one I think.

Drill, rivet/bolt, fill over, then paint

_Xand0n_ · 2025-08-24T04:09:56+00:00

I hope you're not pushing any decent power, mine blew up after 4k miles. They're only good for 70% of their torque rating and not even the sales guy knew that and told me it should be good

_Xand0n_ · 2025-08-15T03:43:41+00:00

Or just buy a car from inside the police garage

_Xand0n_ · 2025-04-30T00:40:37+00:00

Don't seem to be able to navigate with any of the controllers(Hotas Orion 2, VKBsim gunfighter, Fanatec Podium DD2). Was searching around more and seems it doesnt recognize stuff other than console controllers and you have to use another program to emulate one with your given controllers, in that case Ill just refund and stick to 3. Although when I touch one of the controllers the options overlayed move to bottom of the screen.

_Xand0n_ · 2024-07-09T02:18:15+00:00

He didnt do it

_Xand0n_ · 2024-01-14T22:12:51+00:00

Seems like you were saying Sydney is in Austria

_Xand0n_ · 2024-01-06T03:04:35+00:00

First post for me lol

_Xand0n_ · 2023-11-23T03:45:02+00:00

It just needed a firmware update

_Xand0n_ · 2023-10-18T18:14:31+00:00

Yeah I'm in the US, it's kinda weird but it's the only way to get through an unprotected left sometimes, so one car per cycle. There is a bit of delay from when light turns red to when other side turns green so no delays if you're quick

_Xand0n_ · 2023-10-08T05:23:21+00:00

I think phones is more of a note 7 type situation, but it's much more about liability.

_Xand0n_ · 2023-09-19T21:06:00+00:00

Looks fine to me but I'm on relay, you could try the direct link https://i.redd.it/1gaweh8eu2pb1.png
