It is marked as "Driving vehicle at unsafe speed"
I am going to show up at court and see if I can get it dropped. I dont think they have a case. |

It is marked as "Driving vehicle at unsafe speed" I am going to show up at court and see if I can get it dropped. I dont think they have a case. Unfortunately, many States make a case that ANY speed at which an operator cannot carefully control their vehicle is an "unsafe" speed. Therefore, should an operator lose control of their vehicle, they were obviously operating their vehicle at an unsafe speed. It's kind of a catch-all citation. Other states use the "reckless driving" statutes to accomplish the same thing. In other words, if you miss a corner and hit a tree, you were obviously driving in a reckless manner. IMHO, your best bet is to demonstrate that you knew specific road very well, you were not speeding, participating in a show of speed or performance, or breaking any laws. And that the accident was due to unanticipated road conditions of which a reasonable person would not be aware. Thsi could include a recent deposit of oil, sand or other traction-reducing agent on the road. Good luck. |
