Anyway, I was going the speed limit (maybe even under) but couldn't stop in time due to the ice.

I didn't think it was too big a deal until I got home and found out that the ticket for this is $287!!! I've been driving for 12 years now full time and in that time I've never had any accidents and only one traffic violation (speeding ticket). Is there anything I can do? I honestly can't afford this ticket for financial reasons and I hate to say it but that little money (too some) might cripple me for a while.

Phone this # 403-206-5991.

It is the # used for the photo traffic ticket enforment unit and I would tell the officer on the phone exactly what happened and what (if anything) can be done about it.
