What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
Okay guys, one of my friends was involved in a single car accident on the Pennsylvania Turnpike when strong winds and rain were going on. She lost control of her car and smashed into the center divider. Before she got into her accident there was one previous accident no more than 1 mile from her but was cleared and then another accident occured around the same location she had her accident after she got into the accident. A police officer arrived at the scene and told her that she had to be speeding for her to crash the car. Now thats jumping to conclusions, but that is besides the point. He told her that she was going to get a ticket for not driving at a safe speed unless she was able to move the car out of the turnpike and the crash will not be reported. So her boyfriend drove 70 miles to push the car 2 miles to get it out of the turnpike. Two weeks later, she received a summons in the mail saying that she was not driving at a safe speed and she will be receiving points on her license and a fine for $111.00. Now what I want to know is:
How does the officer know she wasnt traveling at a safe speed? She was actually going 55 on "posted" speed limit of 65.
Why did the officer say she can move the car and not get a ticket and then issue the ticket?
What can she do to fight this ticket?
Any information would be appreciated. Thank you
