So i drive a 03 350z, i was on the highway in a 55, going 65. I went around a bend/curve on the highway and it was about 30' degree's out, hit a section of black ice my traction control kicked in and it forced me to lose control. I hit the median knocked over 3 small tree's, a street sign, and than my car rolled over the concrete barrier. The car is totalled.
about 2 days ago a cop shows up, and issues me a ticket for careless driving, stating he couldnt find out exactly what it would fit under, so he said he just marked it as careless driving a 427$ fine.
yes the speed of 65 in a 55 was careless. but that wasnt what caused me to have the accident. I have summer tire's on that are TERRIBLE in the cold weather. It wasnt a turn or anything justa sligh bend in the road. Is there any way i could fight this?
Edit: Nobody actually saw me crash or told the police i was speeding. I admited to the police i was going 60-65ish. That was all that was said. No cop saw it happen, they arrived when a motorist who came upon my car after the wreck called hte police and reported the accident.
