More details to this question:
I backed up a few days ago from my driveway; did look around before I back up but didn't realized a mother was also backing up from the driveway behind my driveway. However she back up faster and was on the street first. I didn't see her and I tp into her . The police came to write a report, we exchange insurance information and went our separate way. Then I recited a citation in the mail. Is this fair?

If you think it was unfair that you received a ticket for the accident, you have the right to contest the ticket; you can usually enter a plea of not guilty by mail or appear in court on the return date to plead not guilty; many times, if you have a clean driving record, the municipal attorney will be willing to negotiate a reduced citation or maybe even willing to dismiss. What did you get a ticket for? Do you know if the other driver also relieved a similar citation?
