You're going to lose.
If your car bucks or jerks, they're going to say it's a mechanical problem and you should not be driving it like that, etc. It doesn't matter how, why, what causes it to do whatever you're claiming it did.
The only way you're going to win is if the cop doesn't show up that day.

You got a Detroit Locker in it? They buck like a wild bull.
Where you from? I was at the Rod Run too, and I've found that TN likes to twist your sack once they have you by the gonadulars.
We were in a car wreck in Ducktown TN a long time ago... drunk ol' hag pulled out in front of us(after looking us dead in the eyes), We hit her broadside in the back, and once the cops got there, they wrote US a ticket for speeding, and gave the drunk hag a ride to the hospital in an ambulance... never asked if we were okay.
Another side note... we all should boycott a few rod runs to show Pigeon Forge what they lose out on without them, because the cops get worse with each one... heck, they used to re-route traffic so you could drag race from light to light in a few areas.

Just hire a lawyer so that he can get rid of it. I know where I am from careless and wreckless is 500-700 dollars, and it does not go on your insurance, if you have a good one.

If you go to court, make sure and get the cop on the stand and ask alot of questions like, where he was when he saw you, which way your car was sliding, how many other cars were on the road, if there were any cars between you and him, if you were sliding how come there were no black marks, did he actually see you or just here you if so he was assuming. Put him on the spot but make sure you have all your facts straight such as surrounding streets, which they run, how many lanes of traffic, surrounding buildings. Tell them that it is an equipment problem not careless driving. I was able to get a ticket suspended because the cop said he was at an intersection of two streets that ran parallel when he was in a parking lot between the two streets. Good luck and hopefully the judge will drop it.

i think i can one up you on a shitty ticket. cruise'n woodward one night. i pulled up to a light, and there were 2 other red camaros next to me (so 3 red 4th gen camaros all at a red light) a Z28, a V6, and then my SS. the guy in the Z28 just side stepped the clutch and did a HUGE smokey burnout. light turns green, and i go. cop gives me a careless driving ticket, and put drag racing and burning out in the comments....i was like "you have to be ******* shitting me right?" and the cop was at a light a block behind the 3 of us.....
you may be fucked...i haven't gone to court for my ticket yet...but i don't know how i can argue it...

Take it to court. The cop will more than likely NOT show up. Explain the situation with your car and explain that you were not speeding. Point out all the things the cop got wrong when writing the ticket as well. You may get off. With a lawyer I'm almost positive you could get off, but its gonna cost you at least 500 bucks to get one! Good luck bro

Good call, bro. Good advice on giving the cop the 3rd degree on the stand. I frequent Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg so if you need any help as to geographical points of interest to your case, PM me and I'll help you out... I can't stand TN cops!!!
That is, till Happy Hour... they all seem to disappear for a bit. I hear they all pile up at the donut shop in town.

i had a friend who once got pulled over, grabbed a bottle out of the backseat, ran outside and jumped around then pissed in it with the cop watching. he just said he had to pee so badly he was racing home. the cop let him off.
just tell the judge you had to take a massive ****. he'd understand. i know many a time i've raced home to drop the cosby kids off at the pool.
