Rock Hill, SC asked in Criminal Law, Traffic Tickets and Car Accidents for South Carolina

Q: Do you think the judge will side with me?

The roads were sorta wet bc it rained earlier but not too bad. I slowed down for the deer but I almost hit it so I swerved and overcorrected and hit an embankment on the opposite side of the road. I was fined $155 and 2 points on my license. I don't see how this was my fault. My car was totaled and I'm already paying fees related to the accident I don't believe this was necessary to be fine for. Keep in mind no one was Around. I called the police to get a report not a ticket :(

A: Time to get a lawyer who handles tickets at the court you are headed to. Assume they had you going too fast.

Not a time to do it yourself.
