Why do I know? Because I have had a lower court ruling overturned on appeal, and it was not published. and for the record, it was the first test of a new law (motorcycle helmets in CA).

I am not familiar with the California COurt Hierarchy but usually a traffic case is tried in Municipal or Justice Court, neither are reported or published. I do not know what court in California would hear a traffic appeal.
