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

*HUGS HUGS HUGS* I'm soooo glad you're safe. I'm sorry about the accident and additional stress and the ticket, though!

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.

I'm so glad you're okay!

And don't worry too much. I got into a similar wreck some years ago and my insurance went up a whole five bucks. It's not as bad as we're led to believe most times.

Ack, I'm glad you're okay! That sounds like it must have been scary for a minute. Sorry about the ticket; I hope it wasn't too high!

Ugh! I am SO sorry that you had to start your day off like this!! *hugs* I am also glad that you are safe, everyone else is safe, and that your car is relatively unhurt. I can totally sympathize (something very similar happened to me mid-September). Also, I am sorry about the ticket and the stress of calling insurance people/city clerk, etc. The driving rules don't always seem fair, do they?

*hugs*
