What is the name of your state? accident took place in New York, I'm from Rhode Island.
I'm Nick, age 20, and I got in an accident in which I recieved a citation. the accident happened when a gust of wind blew the ford explorer I was driving a little to the left, moving me from the left lane into slightly into the left break down (near the median). I moved the wheel slightly to the right to correct, and we went sideways and spun around 3 or 4 times, the final spin, we headed right for a New york state snow plow truck, the front of the car hit the blade of the snow plow and bounced us off the guard rail and back into the highway. I was doing about 55 when the accident happened. it was cold out, and there was an accident there just before (which is why the snowplow was there). the officer cited me for "unsafe speed", with no MPH written on the ticket. I wasn't speeding, and there was no cop in sight when it happened. the other thing was, this was my mothers car, and when he asked for my liscense and registration, I had to dig around for it, and finally found it, when he gave me the citation and my liscense and reg., I looked at it, and he had down a 1999 ford explorer. I was driving a 2002 ford explorer. I have pled not guilty, because I wasn't speeding. I've been driving since 16, and I'm almost 21, and have NEVER had any accident or moving violation, completly clean record.
1. is the wrong info grounds to get the charges dismissed?
it's a 4 hour drive one way from where I live in Rhode island, to where the court is in New york.
2. is the "unsafe speed" violation when no one was around to see how fast I was going, and no speed was marked in the police report or on the violation.
3. I have a completly clean record with almost 5 years of driving, could it get dismissed based on that?
my insurance is going to sky rocket if I lose this... please someone let me know what I should do and say at court. the date is march 31st at 7pm. meaning I have to leave at 3pm and will get home around midnight (If I'm lucky) I don't want this drive to be for nothing.... thanks
