What is the name of your state? VA
I was on a windy road last night and I lost control of my car and I totalled it. I was coming around a bend and I saw a deer on the side of the road and I over reacted and hit a tree and swung into a ditch.
I was given a reckless driving ticket (failure to maintain control) because the office believes I was doing at least 60mph when I told him I was going 45-50mph; which I was. His defense was he saw my "yaw" marks? When after driving back over the scene after being picked up by my mom I saw the mark and it was about 3-5 feet long and only from one tire. The car is totaled without a doubt. No other people were involved and there were no witnesses to my knowledge. and I am 18 and I do have an active driving record.
I already have 11 points on my license.
3 - Speeding 1-9
4 - Speeding 15-19
4 - Failure to stop/yield entering highway
I did take a 8 hour driving course which I should have received +5 points on, but for some reason I never did and I still need to take that up with the DMV headquarters to find out why I did not receive the points.
What can I or what should I do?
