My question involves traffic court in the State of: Pennsylvania
Recently I was driving on an on ramp for a highway and while looking to see if I was clear to merge the car in front of me slowed to a near stop and I rear ended them. I was given a citation for PA VC 3361. This law reads:
"§ 3361. Driving vehicle at safe speed.
No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing, nor at a speed greater than will permit the driver to bring his vehicle to a stop within the assured clear distance ahead. Consistent with the foregoing, every person shall drive at a safe and appropriate speed when approaching and crossing an intersection or railroad grade crossing, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hill crest, when traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway and when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians or other traffic or by reason of weather or highway conditions."
The weather was a normal chill fall evening with clear skies around 10pm (so dark.) How could I fight/have a defense for this in a court.
