I am months from completing 22 years as an officer. Part of what you read below is factual, some is not. Reality is this. You claim your mom went "over" the rail. If this were indeed true, how fast do you really believe she was going? My experience tells me more than 45 miles per hour. If she was in a brief snow squal, the road would not have been iced to the point of losing control. There would have been plenty of time to slow to accommodate the conditions. Attorneys are only after your money. You will spend more on some goofball trying to get you out than you will just paying the ticket providing the driver has a clean record. Officers do not have daily meetings. In fact I walk out my door of my home and start work. If I'm lucky, I get to the department at some point to warm up and use the restroom. You gotta love the television, if it was that easy, we would have no crime. As far as the tickets and accidents, you can thank your insurance companies for that. Purdue University in Indiana developed our crash reports in cooperation with several insurance companies. Not only do we need all of the insurance info, they require an email address. Its not like the police will ever need it! They also request anyone at fault be cited. Following to close for a rear end, and speed to fast for conditions if the driver runs off the road. Yes, they are catch alls. You should expect the following if you decide to go to court. The prosecutor will have a certified driving record. The prosecutor will have the weather report with snow accumulations for the day as well as previous days. The officer will have his photos if there were any taken. The officer will be present to testify. Any witness will receive a subpoena, even if they did not stop, if they called it in. My recommendation, pay the lesser of cost and go on. It sounds as if the ticket is less. Insurance rates will go with the crash report.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
