What is the name of your state? AZ
Today in arizona it was a rainy day, not that it matters. I got into a accident earlier, it was while turing on to hwy ramp. There was 1 person infront of me who stopped before making a left turn on to the ramp. I was moving around 5 miles per hour and when I applied my brakes I slid into his bumper. Damage was chipped paint no body damage and no one got hurt. I recieved a citation for failure to maintain control of vehicle, I wanted to know if anyone knew if this was a high point ticket, and if there is anything I can do to fight it. I do not think that I failed to control the vehicle, I seemed to have hit a oily spot or something. I'm not sure if the ticket is a reckless driving one but if it is, is there a way that I can contest it somehow in court? I just want to know if I am SOL. The ticket fine is $159 and I want to know if it is worth going to court trying to get out of this ticket?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, please no flames. I'm trying to see if I should get some legal help or not.
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
