What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
my husband was driving his motorcycle and was struck by someone making a left hand turn. she was cited with failure to yield on a left turn.
my husband was thrown from the bike & sustained severe injuries -- 13 days in the icu -- and doesn't remember the accident at all. he does remember how stupid he was to get together with old friends & have a few drinks before getting on his bike to come home -- not something that he normally did. well, i guess he had more than a few drinks according to the ticket.
he has been charged with reckless driving, failure to maintain control of a vehicle and dui of .15 to .20 (i'm guessing based on the hospital tox screen).
at this point, i think he's learned his lesson -- he's going through a lot due to having a little fun that day and he's the first to admit how stupid he was. he's very lucky to have survived the accident.
any opinion's on the tickets? i mean, he was obviously in the wrong by drinking and getting on that bike, but adding the reckless driving on there just seems to be adding insult to injury. how well do the hospital tox screens hold up in court? anything because he didn't give consent?
