Failure to control your vehicle law, Toledo Ohio
My son was recently cited for "Failure to Control" his vehicle, in Toledo OH. The time was approx. 7 pm, the wx was light snow, and the temperature at or near freezing. He was exiiting off I-75 and onto I-280. This interchange makes a looping "S" curve, and drops down under an overpass before coming back up to the level of I-280. The "drop" and "wind-tunnel" effect tends to decrease the temperature & increase the moisture level in the area where my son's car slid on the "black-ice", hit one guard rail and spun 180 degrees sending it across to hit the other guard rail. There were no injuries or other cars involved. There were so many accidents at that time that it took Toledo PD 45 minutes to respond and an additional 45 minutes for the tow truck to arrive.
Q ~ Should my son fight this ticket? Q ~ Is there a lesser included charge?
