You say that you excellerated your Vehical down the on ramp to catch up with traffic and the tire spun on a wet spot... Thats no big deal...
The cop that cited you must of been a Highway Patrol officer...
I would go to court on that cite.. That is kind of a weak ticket.
If you go than dress nice and act professional when you talk to the judge. I would say that you were trying to merge in with traffic and as you were traveling along the on ramp your truck hit a oil slick, you than let off the gas to gain control and continuned on the ramp.
As for the officer that cited you... Hopefully you were calm and not giving him any S#*t...LOL! As you are telling the judge your side if the story I would include that you feel that this ticket has been issued in the wrong and that you are not a hot rod driver you simply hit an oil slick by accident and that your truck is a powerfull diesel. It is very light in the rear end and when you hit a slick the tires may break traction for a second and that you a good driver and that you try very hard to stay out of trouble driving and that your record speaks for it self...
I would also say that you did not want to argue with the Officer, that you respect Law Enforcement and that you feel that this is what traffic court is for to explain your self...
I have gone to court on other things and have been shocked when the judge lets someone off that really messed up... They have acted and said what i just typed here...
Hope that helps you a little..
Good Luck with the ticket...
