| Rear-ended whitness and officer say my fault
What is the name of your state? Tennessee
I have a question about a situation. I had a green arrow to turn left, while turning a person was not yielding for me and pulled right, out infront me and my younger cousin who was in the car. Both of us kept going. Now, it is a two lane road, he was in the left hand side, I had to get over there also, to go on the highway. He was still going under the speed limit by several miles per hour, so I decided to pass him. I put on my blinker and had enough space and room to get over. There was a car infront of me, a white Honda Accord while in the left lane. We then came up to a stop light and slowed down. The time I slowed down to almost a complete stop I looked in my rear view mirrior and the van behind me was slowing down, but just tapped me. We both then got out of the car, I didn’t say anything to the man, he and another guy behind him started yelling at me. They claimed that I slammed on my breaks that caused the man to hit me. There was no damage to either of the cars besides an imprint of his license plate in the middle of the back bumber. There were no skid marks. Also the officer, a city cop and a Highway Patrol man told me that the whitness who was behind the van that hit me saw my break lights come on, which in turn they said meant I slammed on my breaks. They asked me if I slammed on my breaks, first I answered no, then both of the officers said I better say yes or they would try and make it harder on me.
I was recently in court on Thursday, the judge was going to let me go, but then the officer wanted to have the whitness or the guy who hit me come in. They said he had a manditory meeting that didn’t let him join us in court. The officer asked the judge if we could rescedual and he said yes.
If you can help me out that would be great. |
