[QUOTE="nik96, post: 12896635, member: 50928"] (Colorado) A few days ago I was pulled over on the highway(US-36) in a 55mph zone while doing 51. It had snowed earlier that day and the roads had been plowed and sanded. The particular stretch where the violation took place was, in my opinion, clear with snow drift on the shoulders. When I was pulled over, the officer explained that he felt the speed limit for the conditions was 30mph and that 51 was excessive. While this is a matter of discretion, I cannot argue with an officer's decision. What I dont understand is why he decided to charge me with reckless driving as well as the original offense. The exchange was cordial, I was polite, there was no mention of a roadside or suspicion of alcohol and he did not tell me i was swerving or driving erratically/recklessly. I don't understand why such a major traffic offense was tossed in with the only real offense. I did speak with a lawyer briefly and he felt like the charge was highly unusual. I'm not trying to bash LEO's or say I did nothing wrong, just trying to gather some info/opinions from LEO's and citizens. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
