Colorado - I was driving to work in April. This was the day after our big snow storm. The road I was on was a countryroad. These roads are never cleared of snow. I was going 25 miles per hour on a stretch of road that was clean and dry. I came over a rise in the road and hit ice and snow. My car was spining the second I hit this part of the road and I rolled the car. The rollover was due to the drainage ditch on the side of the road. There was no witness there. After I crawled out and walk home, (no traffic to stop and help) I called the police and went to the hospital. After many hours of xrays and still in the xray room, a snotty Colorado Springs cop came in while I was undressed and said what happened. I told her and she handed me a ticket that was already filled out.
My question is, how can she know that I was careless. There was no witness, and I was going at a reasonable speed for the conditions I was seeing at the time. I don't know how much slower I could have gone. The roads in to town covers 50 miles. If I went any slower I would never get anywhere in a single day. And they never clear snow off these roads, as it is a dirt road.
