No other vehicles involved, thank God. I am going to try and obtain a copy of her driving record; she has no points. I have already requested a copy of the police report; I want to see how they determined that she was driving recklessly and/or improper passing. She was passing in a legal passing zone and was not speeding. In my opinion, the county was negligent due to the fact that they did not salt the roads until after there were 4 or 5 accidents.

Dave, you can argue that the County was negligent but in the traffic laws it does state that the motorist is responsible to maintain reasonable control of his or her vehicle at all times.. Maybe she should have been ticketed for failure to control rather than reckless operation, I don't know.. I am not trying to play Devils Advocate I am just trying to help you out and be realistic about what probably will happen...
