I rear-ended a person who stopped suddenly for no reason and failed to signal her right turn. I was undistracted and felt I should have had enough distance to stop. I was going at approx 30-35 mph. I would say I had one car lenghth, perhaps two or more. I received a ticket, she received no citation. I had new brakes and rotor and apparently, this can increase stopping distance. I plan to contest.
Am I in an "at fault" state? Can I site "Contributory negligence"? Can I submit the issue regarding my new brakes to help support my not being found at fault? Eager to hear your response.
