Careless Driving Ticket
So I was involved in an accident just recently and I was issued a careless driving ticket. What had happened is that my friend and I were driving on a bridge that was under construction and it was at night, I was unfamiliar with the area so my friend was providing me with direction to their home. As I was driving along the bridge at night, they had cement dividers all lined up because of the construction and I tend to get very nervous when theres construction and night and I do not really know where I am. I misjudged the distance between my vehicle and the cement divider and as a natural reaction my friend grabbed the wheel to steer me away from it but I instantly paniced and steered out of control, swerved and hit the dividers. It happened all so fast, I was in so much shock, disarray, and confusion that all I could do was cry, cry and cry. My friend was taken to the hospital which made me even more flustered, he was fine though. I was left to leave a statement once the police got there but I was in no shape what so ever to provide an accurate statement. I could barely even breath I was hyperventilating the entire time. They must realize i was in no shape to provide an accurate statement because the majority of it was I dont know. My friend provided them with the correct statement. I want to fight the ticket because I truly do not believe I should have to suffer from a careless driving ticket. I am just worried that my friend will get pulled into it because I gave the wrong statement. I really do not want my friend to have to go to court or anything, I want to be the one dealing with it not them. Is it possible for them not to be involved at all? PLease help me, im so upset and confused. I really do not want to go to court or anything.
