Are you seriously going to argue otherwise? I mean you lost control and wrecked. Not to mention the fact this is one of the reasons you got ticketed. C'mon now.
I was driving home last week in the heavy rain. Anytime I edged my speed above fifty, I could feel my car lose grip and sway slightly. So guess what I did. I slowed down and did not wreck.
Everyone makes mistakes. Most people are man enough to admit and not come up with silly excuses.
hrmph...I live in FL and don't think 60 is too fast for wet conditions on the highway but I do slow it down if the car or conditions tell me to.

I believe that you were driving safely so dont sweat these other guys telling you otherwise. That is just total random bad luck you hit that tire. Because there was debris in the road that potentially could not have been avoided, is your insurance rate still going to rise?

That sucks, painful to see the pics. I hate retreads, too dangerous in my opinion--"they" should outlaw them for the potential lethality they can cause.

Should be an easy ticket to beat as the pig has no witnesses but you do. Make sure you give him a nasty look and even a comment or two if you wish as you leave the courtroom after making him look like a fool in front of the judge.
look on the bright side, atleast you and your girl didnt get hurt and you'll be driving it soon!

Get off his ***. Jeez. Not every accident can be avoided.

Can you say "hydroplane"?
But hey, what the hell do I know? I only have 23 years of driving experience.
I'm sure you kids know exactly what you are doing, right?

Man that drive through the mountains from Martinsburg to Hagerstown is no joke. If it aint rain its deer. When I went out there all the time driving in the snow on those roads was no fun. My Grandfather lives in Altoona, aunt and uncle right on the maryland border in mercersburg. Used to go back and forth all the time. Sorry bout the car.
