From what I've heard this is not an easy ticket to fight, hell its not even handed out that much. |

It's at the discretion of the officer to hand out a ticket like this. It will be hard to dispute against unless we know the situation that you're in/the context of your ticket. |
This is what you were charged with doing.. . Careless driving prohibited 144 (1) A person must not drive a motor vehicle on a highway (c) at a speed that is excessive relative to the road, traffic, visibility or weather conditions. It is often issued to drivers who crashed because they were going too fast for weather conditions, road surface, heavy traffic...that sort of thing. It's essentially a lower version of due care and reasonable consideration. I isued them to people who skidded thru stop signs on snowy/wet roads and hit someone or were driving the limit or more in fog, heavy rain or snow storms. It usually fits a someone who you have to believe must be blind or stupid to ignore an extremely obvious bad condition that should have made you voluntarily slow down. Not saying you were, but that is the usual situation where they are issued. |
I got served with one years back when I hydroplaned on a on-ramp to the 91A.... Couldn't see the extreme washout from the blind corner; thus spinning out and making contact with cement barrier. Nothing major, but the PC said that its a mandatory issue for an accident in poor conditions. |

^^ very good point! So, would an officer get the same ticket for this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3..._8323688_n.jpg Posted via RS Mobile |
I had this ticket before. The officer issued it after I crash my car in a cold and slippery night. I paid because I was speeding. Posted via RS Mobile |

If they were following too closely then a VT for just that would be appropriate. If they did not have winter tyres or didn't use chains, as the posted signs required, then they could get VTs for those charges. If they had bald tyres then that could what got then the VT. If the tyres were bald then a VT for that may be considered. Hope I covered everry possible eventuality you suggested? Remember in the situation here the driver crashed. |

Had another doing 80 in an 80 on Hwy 18 where the fog was so thick that I couldn't see him until he came right past my driver's door. Visibility was about 2 car lengths at tops. . If there had been anyone in front of him turning into the intersection by the golf course, he would have hit it without even having time to react, let alone stop. He told me that it was not unsafe as he drove this road every day and knew exactly where he was. The JP asked him if he had x-ray vision that saw thru fog, then found him guilty. |

The rest I agree with. I've also had cars tailgating me quite badly on the Malahat in thick fog. Not sure if they want to go faster or they're simply latching on so they can see where they're going. |

I meant cruise control and i pressed the accelerate button of the cruise control. as soon as i pressed it, my front left of my car slide off road. I dont know what made my left front bounce. i was confused too............ |
You're leaving out many details. Where was the accident at? Was it a curve, was it an exit? Was it raining/snowing/hailing/tornado'ing? |
Cruise control + slippery road = crash just waiting to happen...and it did. :( |
