, it was unwitnessed, Your suggestions please.
Thanks in advance
Brad
Hire a lawyer, have it thrown out.
as for being un-witnessed, weren't you in front, did you forget you saw fluid on the road??? must have been antifreeze or gas that evaporated before help arrived. You were in front, she wasn't passing, you made it safely= she wasn't going to fast!
about the accident reconstruction officer (the one who most likely wrote the late ticket), he most likely will have weight of bike & rider and skid length, which is not enough. Which part of bike made the skid marks, was it rubber , fiberglass, steel or aluminium? each will have different drag properties effecting stopping power,,, thickness & depth of each section of skid marks,,, and this is where a lawyer will also do his deed.
Next will be pavement condition, here in illinois. we used to use a computerized trailer that would lock a fifth tire that would test asphault for stopping power. was pavement oilsoaked,water saturated, to much stone reveiled ,not enough tar in mix, etc. Illinois quit using that trailer, it could show pre-existing (known) like glass, problems that could lead to lawsuits.
Was there any crack seal applied on pavement (liquid rubber)? this suff is slippery, especially in a turn.
Sorry for the rant, but once again,,, lawyer = dismissal
