Legal Question in Traffic Law in Wisconsin

Although an experienced traffic lawyer may be able to negotiate a major reduction, it does not sound to me as if you would have a very strong defense if you refused to plea bargain and went to trial. The fact that you spun out more or less proves that your speed was to high to allow you to keep your vehicle under control in the icy conditions which existed at that time. Although this may not have been your fault, unfortunately, fault is not an element which must be proven by the government in order to convict you of a minor traffic regulation. Any time your driving, equipment or insurance does not comply with the rules, you may be cited. Rather than objecting to being convict of anything, you should ask your lawyer to try for something which will have less impact upon your car insurance and drivers license points.
