Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York
bad weather traffic ticket
I was traveling on I-86 while it was raining horribly. I was in a
construction zone which was reduced to one lane. There was stop
and go traffic and everyone had their hazards on. A series of cars
in front of me slammed on their brakes, and by the time I was able
to see what was happening, I slammed on my brakes and hit the
car in front of me at about 10 mph. I recieved a ticket once we
made the accident report for following too closely, when in fact I hit
them due to poor visibility. What is the best way to argue this, and
what are th chances of getiing it dropped/reduced? I have a clean
driving record and four points on my license due to bad weather is
unjust.
