Careless For Driving 105 In A 100 Zone With Some Snow On Hwy
Hello, I need some advice..
Tonight I was driving home on the QEW with cruise control set to approx 105kmph (+-5 due to speedo inaccuracies i guess). The speed was 100 and there were a row of 6-8 cars driving in the middle lane at about 80kmph.
I went into the left lane to pass, and as I was coming up to the third vechicle from the front of the line, it flashed it's cherries for two seconds and I noticed it was a police. I slowed down to 90 before passing him and continued past the line of cars and moved back to the middle lane.
The officer then pulled me over, told me how he was on a call to an accident and i would wind up wrapped around a tree if i kept driving like this. he told me i wasnt getting the point and he'd have to give me a ticket. he took my insurance, ownership and license back to the cruiser, and came back with a careless driving ticket.
I do not feel I was driving unsafely. I have had my full license for 10 years and have never been in an accident which I was at fault in, and feel I can judge the safe speed of the road. If I felt it was too snowy I would have slowed, there was some snow on the highway but I have snow tires and wasn't having any troubles being in control of my car.
Clearly I need to fight this.. How should I go about doing it? Do I need a lawyer, or will a paralegal suffice such as x-copper?
