Sweet suspended license.

yeah, unfortunately what a lot of people don't know is as long as there's no minimum speed limit one can go as slow as they want on a road. Plus when the roads are crap, its expected that the driver goes at a speed which matches the conditions of the road, which leads to situations like yours. The cop probably went on about how you were driving unsafely or wrecklessly given the road conditions, which is cause for suspension on the spot in some places. You should check out the local laws.

Second, did you lend your car to someone else or something? It may have come up as you maybe?

depends on how the cop feels that day i guess, and what he can prove or what evidence is in sight enough to have cause for a search. It's really one really long fine line they have to walk. Sucks about the license though, when can you get it back?

If there were no cops then how did they suspend your license for spinning out?

Depends on what the cop sees in plain sight...if your friend is a crack head and had crack in view when the cop looked in the window, they he would have likely gotten away with it, if he didn't act suspicious. If it were in sight then he would have reason. It also depends on how far the cop wants to push it when he thinks there's something but doesn't have concrete proof, or if hes dealing with a known repeater.  It's really one really long fine line they have to walk. Sucks about the license though, when can you get it back? 60 day suspension beginning Feb. 23rd That sucks. Especially since it doesn't start until Feb. If there were no cops then how did they suspend your license for spinning out? Insurance claim Not to say that you should have lied about the insurance claim, but maybe not have reported it? It seems wierd that the cops would get you that way, but then again i don't know alot about how they do some things.

Sounds like the bad luck of the year award is going to you so far unfortunately...is there anyway you can go to court to plea for a hardship license?

What kind of damage did your vehicle get that it had to be reported?

Doing a 180 caused your airbag to deploy?

I've luckily not spun out yet. I sort of skidded sideways for a bit across a bridge, but no total spin.

Only if it's because the conditions are crap and you can't actually drive the limit. Otherwise driving too slowly = impeding traffic.

yeah, that's what i meant to say. Should've clarified myself better

You were drunk, just admit it.
