Hello,

I had a terrible accident yesterday. I was driving in Virginia and I hit black ice. My car slipped, then spun and ended in the left lane. I was driving around 50 in the 65 zone.

Tha cop gave me a ticket for Reckless driving - Failed to maintain control of the car.

I was the only accident in that bridge, but all over the road there were a lot of accidents. The cop mentioned that he had to take care of 2 more accidents before it got to me.

I have had my license for a little more than one year. So I am also an inexperience driver.

I am very careful always and I don't think it's fair to have a Reckless driving in my file.

I would really appreciate any advise that you could give me. Do i need to hire a lawyer? is it better to enter a plea of not guilty or nolo?

thanks,

Christy
