Ok, heres the situation, our first real snowfall, about 3 weeks ago when we got about 4" of snow, I was out with a friend of mine. I was following him into the London Wal-mart parking lot, where you can either go right,left or strait. 95% of people go strait through so i figured he was going to go strait, I was wrong. He suddenly slammed on his brakes and went right, which I in turn did the same thing and nearly missed the stop sign and ended up having the ass end come out on me. Once I got my car straitened out, we proceeded on our way when he slammed on his brakes again to go left and go down an aisle to park. Well I had to slam on my brakes again and my ass end came out from me again( Keep in mind its snowing and there is about 4" of snow on the ground and the parking lot hadn't even been touched by a plow yet) Well i ended up over correcting and the ass end swung out the other way. We were about half-way down the aisle now and when I finally got it under control.
A couple seconds later, i pulled into my parking spot and a London cop shows up and points at both of us to park our cars and dont move. I ended up getting a wreckless opp. ticket on "private property". The cop told us we were doing doughnuts in the parkling lot when in fact we didnt even come close to even doing a 90 degree slide. Does it really take over an hour to write a ticket?
My question(s) are do you guys have any tips on what I should say to the judge to present my case? This is my first offense ever. Is there any chance of me getting out of this? I mean, its my first offense, the road conditions were shitty, I wasnt "doing doughnuts" in the parking lot and it was on private property, the ticket even stated it was on private property. Any tips would be helpfull.
Thanks
