I echo the sentiments of those who are glad you are well...

Now, about that ticket...What the hell kind of a law is there where you are ticketed for something this coincidental? And who in the hell was there to observe you driving 'carelessly'? It sounds like this was an accident and purely due to circumstances caused by the road conditions. I'd also go so far as to say the patrollman who wrote you up was a jackass. But then again, this isn't saying much when you are ticketed for not having a front license plate in California when many cars are sold without being prepared to accomodate a front license plate at all...Really, it's not like they are ever chasing you front the front of your car and would need to see your license plate there.

Thus, I digress...

I am absolutely stunned that you would get a ticket for accidentally losing control. It's not like it was malevolent or pre-meditated.

Memo to self: Get chauffered in Colorado to avoid accidents.
