Legal Advice Accident/Ticket

Well..in most cases they will just write up a police report adverse to you and will not cite you.

you must've found a real live one b/c they rarely issue tickets unless theres lots of damage, someone is badly hurt, you did something really stupid and/or are drunk.

yeah, that's what I thought. None of this was the case. WTF.

I'm in PA, just got my car registered there, though I still have a NY license. With my luck that'll be a problem too.

As for the citation, he specifically wrote "Def did operate a M/V with an 'ice covered windshield'. That's simply false. I did lots of things wrong, but that wasn't one of them. I'm hoping I can use his exact language against him in court. I heard these cops don't even show up most of the time, so I guess I'll fight it.

you have nothing to lose by fighting it, it's worth a shot.

don't expect much though, you just got unlucky and found a cop trying to fill his moving violations quota (it is the end of the month)

Yeh the cop might not show that's probably your best bet, but with rear end accidents because you are always at fault you will likely always be charged with some kind of dangerous driving. It's a shame someone called the cops aww well, hope you get it sorted.
