I just recently received a summons to court for reckles driving and speeding. I was not stopped by a policeman but summoned by a private citizen. He claims I was driving recklesly and speeding in inclimant weather and that I passed him on a two lane road.
I am not completely sure that it was me driving at the time because both my wife and I drive both of our cars a van and a truck. It was the tag number of the truck that was identified which is what I normally drive.
I know my wife does not drive the way it was written in the report. The sheriff was nice enough to let me read it. And if it was me I may have passed him on a double line if I thought he was going to slow but I did not think I was driving recklessly and driving the way he made it seem. People get angry smetimes when you pass them like that on the two lane road. Would passing him on the double line constitute reckless driving?
Secondly, I am not all the way sure that it was me driving because during the time that he claimed the incident happened, I am usually in class an hour and half away. He claimed the incident happened around 6:10 pm on wed Dec 13. I would have driven to work that day and then to school, my class is from 4:30 to 7:10pm and this day is significant because it was the day of my finals which I know I would not have missed and I believe I drove our van on that day, not sure totally.
On a wreckles driving charge and speeding dont they have to link the charge to the driver and not just the owner of the vehicle? Our van and the truck our in my name.
I was thinking about bringing in my School ID card and my class schedule printed from the the university site this form has the date, day and time of
my class. Would this give reasonable doubt that I may not have been the driver?
I also have a decent driving record. I think I have one speeding ticket from 2 years ago.
I go into court for this soon I could use some advice.
