<< BTW, what specifically was the ticket for? whatd the cop write as the reason? >>
I'm guessing that it's a failure to control the automobile. Can't remember what they put on the ticket, but when I rear-ended someone, that's what they gave the ticket for. His real problem isn't the police, he can go to traffic school to get the mark taken off the record, he should worry more about the passengers in the other car and if his insurance rates will skyrocket. Luckily my rear-end accident was very minor, so I was able to pay for the fixes out of pocket without my insurance company catching wind of it.
