Prep For Early Resolution Meeting
Hi
My wife got charged with careless driving in a recent accident - ran over the curb hit a concrete base of the lamp post, when attempting to change lanes in busy traffic and lost control of the vehicle while looking in the blind spot. I've asked for early resolution meeting - how should I prepare myself to get the charges removed totally? Here's why I think the charges be removed completely - please correct any details i should omit, or add other things I should consider adding:
- she was slowly cruising on the lane that had an obstruction coming up, and wanted to change to the next lane
- she had the indicator on for quite a long time, but no one gave her way. she had to look at the mirror and blind spot multiple times
- heavy traffic conditions - 9 am on the busy King St approaching downtown hamilton.
- she was feeling little nauseous and all she remembers was the pole coming in front after her attention shifted from the blind spot to the front, and was too late hitting the break.
the police said they had no choice but to give a ticket as per standard practice. I've requested early resolution date, and possibly going to fight the case - as I don't see what was careless in my wife's driving. In my opinion, she was more careful.
Would like to hear thoughts from some of the experts here. Appreciate all the help.
Thanks.
