Hi All.. Looking for a little advice if you don't mind.
This past Thursday I was in a car accident. We had crappy weather all day. As I was on my way home at night, I was approaching a red light and tried to stop, only to find I was on a huge sheet of ice and unable to stop in time. I ended up rear ending a vehicle in front of me. His vehicle suffered minor damage (cracked bumper), where as my whole front passengers side pretty much caved in. (good ole plastic Honda's) Thankfully we were all ok, with minimal soreness. I'm dealing with my insurance company now, to see what will be done with my car. (the darn thing was only 5 months old... GAH!)
I've since been charged with careless driving. It's a $400 fine and a loss of 6 demerits! I'm curious if anyone here as fought this? Due to road conditions or something? I'm just trying to weigh my options here. I've got a call into my lawyer, and just waiting for him to call back. In the meantime, can anyone offer any words of wisdom? I'd really appreciate it.
