Paragraphs FTW!
I didn't know that you were allowed to excuse yourself from court like this. Anyways, there was someone in Winnipeg a few years ago who loudly contested their stop sign ticket and tried to pull the "you were moving, too" argument that you seem to be using. The guy was even prepared to pay for a
perceptual psychologist to come in and prove his point.
The judge thought it was bullshit and the guy was forced to pay his ticket anyways. The only reason I know all of this is because the guy wrote to all the newspapers to explain his point of view; people made fun of him for weeks.
I don't think you'll win with your argument, but if you're lucky and have a clear record (as you state) the judge might let it pass if you look miserable enough. You shoulda just bribed the cop, though.
