What is the name of your state? VA
Hi all,
I was wondering 2 things:
1) How do you find out the number of points that will be added to your license for a federal traffic violation? I have a ticket for 36 CFR 4.22 (b)(3), "failure to maintain proper control (accident)", from the National Park Service,but am unable to find out what kind of penalties this ticket will incur when it goes to trial in Virginia.
2) Also, I got this ticket because I rear ended the 3rd car in a 5 car accident (I was the 4th) The third car stopped abruptly by running into the 2nd car, without braking, in a freeway (50 mph limit) situation. (Clear conditions, heavy traffic) No one was apparently speeding or tailgating. Is there any way to get out of this situation without adding points to my license? I acknowledge that I hit the 3rd car, but are there any extenuating circumstances that could help me? FWIW, I was about 3 seconds behind, as suggested in the VA driving manual, and had time to look to the left lane and decide not to swerve there, brake, and try to swerve right to avoid the crashed car. Should I even try to contest this ticket?
Thanks!!!!!!
