What is the name of your state?colorado,
okay well, back on 8-13-04.. i was driving home from a golf course. I had to turn left from a stop sighn. this left turn was along a hill on a very narrow 2 lane road. when completeing the turn i noticed my car was riding on the double yellow lines. So, to avoid entering on coming traffic i moved further to the right. When i did so my cars wheel went into the gutter. This gutter was marked to be fill because it had sunk into a hole. when the wheel of my car went in, it was pushed onto the curb. My car hit a fence post, the fence post was less then 2inches from the curb. there were no witnesses, and i was going under the speed limit. I also only hit one piece of the fence. There were no witnesses, but a police came shorty. Keep in mind that this all happened on private property, Anyways the cop just slapped a carless driving ticket and required court a visit, without any real reason.
Careless driving.
Any person who drives a vehicle in careless disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of careless driving, a summary offense.
well, the whole reason i hit the fence was because i was concerned for the safty of other drivers. I contacted the parks service who owned the fence, and was told over 10 people have hit that fence. the cop didnt even tell me why it was carless driving or what it is. Now i have to go to court and im not sure what i should do? I also felt very mistreated by the cop, he just wanted to rush everytthing. And this was my first driving accident/ talking with the popo (police) as i am only 17. if someone could give me some advice that would be very helpful... thank you
