Keep your distance, Chewie.

I got in an accident this morning. I wouldn't say it was a minor accident, but my part in it was minor. Traffic was already backed up in the left hand lane of the highway due to another accident or pullover a few hundred feet ahead (I never did find out because I never got that far). Seeing that the traffic was backing up, I got in the left lane

Wow, well, first of all, I'm glad that you and everyone else was safe. I'm sorry that you got into the accident and the idea of a ticket? Dude...It must be because I'm out here in CA and accidents are a part of life out here but I have never heard over anyone getting a ticket for getting into an accident let alone getting one where you clearly weren't at fault.

Can you go to traffic school so your rates don't go up?

I am so sorry again!

Haha, love the icon.

As far as I understand, here in OH if you rear-end someone, you're considered at fault, no matter the circumstances. It's not something the officer has a choice to waive, either. I think the guy felt kind of bad when he was giving it to me.

Maybe if CA issued tickets for being involved in an accident we wouldn't have such a budget crisis. LOL

Still, it's too bad that someone's bad driving caused you to get a ticket. Boo for bad drivers.

It's like that in a lot of places. You rear-end someone, you're at fault in some way. It's usually true.

Oh, I wasn't talking about the at-fault idea. I was talking about getting a ticket for rear-ending someone. I've been rear-ended twice and neither time was the driver issued a citation.

We were just lucky both times the other driver was insured. It's a risk out here. LOL
