Hi -- I'm all rather mixed up, this is my first accident let alone a ticket.
I was involved in a fender-bender in Ohio but I am from way, way, out of state. We both feel we were in the right but there was a local witness that said it was my fault. The cop said he couldn't tell -- it was low speed and no injury --but he was obligated to give me a ticket for running the red light as there was a witness who feels I did so and Ohio law says whoever is deemed at fault gets a ticket. He gave me one for failure to stop at a red light.
The ticket gives me the option of pleading guilty by mail or attending in person for any other plea. The court date is a week from now!
What do I do? It sounds like I am sunk but I'm not sure I can afford the time and cost to come back yet the results could be worse.
What do I do? Like I said, I'm not from Ohio, not even close.
