my state is florida
other day was driving and almost got hit by woman who cut me off on freeway going 70 mph, nearly lost control and was very scared as i had been involved in same type of accident few months earlier where my car was totaled and other guy took off never to be found. as we got off exit i was very shaken so i got out of my car and started yelling at her, she didn't care so i slapped her. she called the cops, but she's not pressing charges. when i spoke with cops i told them exactly what happened and now i have notice to appear for misdemeanor battery. what should i plead? guilty or no contest! can i ask for mercy and have it reduced to an infraction or something not so serious? what should i expect as punishment? i am in school right now so that i can get a better job in the future. will this affect my chances of getting one? i have never been in the police eye before and terrified about what will happen to me and my 2 young children. i'm usually a nice girl and i know that i did something wrong, but i was scared because i almost lost control of my car at 70 mph. please help!
