What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
After a lengthy doctor visit at which time my blood pressure was exceptionally low and 3 vials of blood were taken for testing, I fell asleep while driving through a 25mph school zone. I was only 2 miles from home. Minimal damage to my car and to the Mercedes I bumped. The police report reads 'looked away while driving.' My fine is 640.00. Court date is Tues., 6-23.
I have another dr. appt. on Mon. 6-22 to get the results of the blood tests (they would not disclose the results on the phone). Here's the question: do I ask the dr. for some kind of statement concerning my bp and sleepiness to present to the court (w/o admitting culpability; I'm not blaming the dr. just trying to reduce the fine/points); do I admit at all that I fell asleep or stick with the 'duh, I looked away and went boom?' My problem of not sleeping due to night pain from 4 herniated discs is well documented. I take nothing but otc drugs and Tamadol; hence the blood tests. Thanks in advance, Kathy
