Accident and ticket (very specific circumstances). What should I do? Do I contact an attorney?
I was returning home at 12 in the morning, next to my friend. I was driving his sports coupe (on the left lane) down a pickup-truck driven by what looked like teenaged kids.
The truck was not man driven properly, slowing abruptly, speeding, etc, so I moved to the right lane and continued moving in directive to avoid it. Then the truck side swiped the car and the rear gearstick, rear fender and the driver side door were smashed.
As it have to happen, one of the kid's mother was an officer within that city. I think the kid's mom (officer) arrived with another officer at the scene. The other officer asked for my license and my friend's license. Meanwhile I have called 911 and a third officer arrived.
The third officer first interacted with the other officer and the kids.
Then the third officer asked me to follow with my eyeballs his pen (left to right and back), to make sure I be not drunk, etc.
I was cited for two traffic violations. The charging officer told me that he hear from witnesses that I was changing lane abruptly and did not control my speed. I told him that I was driving contained by my lane.
Finally he told me that my driver's license is lost. He also told that my friends' license is also lost.
What should be the best course of action now? I hold a clean driving history and drive fairly defensively.
Answers:
Did they ask for your side of the story? Did they acknowledge your side if so? If not, they are violate standards. It is worthy to take to court.
If you "drive fairly defensively" you would not hold tried to pass a vehicle you indicate was mortal driven erratically on the right.
