No, I wouldn't. If I was hit by a driver who couldn't control their car properly I would be more upset that despite all the muscle flexing and ticket writing, the driver still doesn't know how to drive properly. Does writing him a ticket teach him any more of a lesson than the act of crashing his car did? I don't think so.
With a law enforcement background, I can see how you'd blame the collision on speeding too fast for conditions. But the real problem is not that the car was going too fast, it's the driver who didn't know how fast the car should have been going.
In my mind, any time you have been dealt with by an officer, you might as well be a criminal.
