The only problem here is reasonable is always up to whoever's judgement at the time. You see it as reasonably safe because you were looking out for traffic and being mindful of the situation. The officer can't know that, and if I were him I wouldn't assume you were doing that knowing how most people drive.
If your talking about the 28 in a 60, then I agree then it comes down to my opinion vs his on the definition of "reasonably safe". But, at the time, he stated that it was for the "stopping" incident.

Oh, and by the way, the ticket says the court appearence is for 7pm, so I wouldn't have to take of work to go.
