Q-1)(25P) A driver travelling down a 3% grade collides with a roadside object in rainy/dry conditions and issued a ticket for driving too fast for conditions. The posted speed limit is 110kmh. The accident investigated team determined the following: The vehicle was travelling 65kmh when it struck the object, braking skid marks started 61m before the struck object, the pavement is in good/poor condition, and the braking efficiency of the vehicle was 0.95. Using theoretical stopping distance, assuming aerodynamic resistance is negligible, and with the coefficient rolling resistance approximated as 0.015, should the driver appeal the ticket? Why or why not?
