Careless Driving Ticket Help!!
My mother was involved in a car accident and was hit by a truck from the back. It wasnt major and there wasnt alot of damage done to the car. I knew that she was at fault due to an illegal lane change. After being hit, I got out of the car and went to the truck driver. He called the cops and we waited until they showed up. When the cop showed up, he asked who was driving and my mother said it was her. But the cop claimed that the truck driver said I was driving. The truck driver thought I got out of the driver seat when all along, I was sitting behind my mother. The cop claims that the truck driver had a witness who was also on the scene when the accident happened, whom I did not see. I was issued a careless driving ticket from the cop even though I wasnt driving.
I would like to know if the witness counts even though he/she wasnt even there at the scene when the cops came. I think the truck driver just used one of his friends as witnesses.
If I take this case to court, would they consider listening to the "witness" who I didnt even see, and who wasnt even at the scene upon the arrival of the cops?
