I'm sorry to have to say this but you are totally wrong in this situation, yes I am very sure that it is frustrating. You as a driver should have known better then to attempt to drive if the condition's were so severe. as far as you driving illegally, this again is true. the department of motor vehicle's safety administration states that no driver shall operate a motor vehicle in an unsafe fashion, or while condition's are unsafe to operate under. so yes you broke the law, as you said there were no plow's or salt trucks out, and cars were already having problem's, why didn't you just wait for the storm to pass. there is another law in place that protect's drivers in this event. basically it states that if the driver feels unsafe, for any reason, he is not allowed to operate a motor vehicle, so in a sense, this makes it so that if you are tired, feeling sick, or the weather condition's make you feel unsafe. you cannot move, therefore a carrier cannot force you to run. if you had just come off of a restart then you had already been sitting, so why didn't you just wait? or when you started driving and saw that the condition's were so bad why not find a place to park? I have been driving for many years and I know why. you got sick of sitting there and decided to push threw, just like all of us have. I don't blame you for this, although it is not your right to blame anyone else. this was your fault, you were the only one driving the truck that night. As far as your dac report goes, you don't need a lawyer. all you have to do is contact usis directly and file a rebuttal, then they will contact the company get there side of the events again, and then you have the option to comment directly on your dac as to your side of the event. thank you for your time, I wish you the best of luck!
