Legal Question in Traffic Law in Wisconsin

How slow do you need to be for too fast for conditions?

Minor traffic violations such as "too fast for conditions," "unreasonable and imprudent speed or "inattentive driving" are "self proving" any time that there is an accident. Negligent judgment is generally an element of these offenses, and, if no accident occurs, it may well be impossible to prove them if the defendant takes their case to trial. However, when there is an accident, our legal system tends to feel obligated to find someone at fault, and the occurrence of the accident nearly always proves that someone's judgment was wrong. Sometimes can be guilty of bad judgment simply by making the decision to venture out in sufficient dangerous conditions, meaning that speed becomes irrelevant. If you believe that you are not guilty, of course, you always have the right to contest the ticket. An experienced traffic lawyer is likely to improve your odds of success.
