Re: F150 Accident
In Massachusetts if you rear end someone you're screwed. You are automatically at fault on the insurance. I'm guessing because you are automatically at fault, you can also be cited as well.
Sucks man, sorry to hear it.

Re: F150 Accident
The Ever Popular "Learning Experience". Sucks that it happened but it gives you a chance to figure out where you went wrong and not do that anymore.
Shortly after I got the Dakota I rear-ended a guy on a clear dry day. I hadn't had the Dak for very long and it it turns out that two things needed to happen: The truck needed new pads as the old ones were all glazed over (quickly done - with premium pads and new rotors) and I need to allow more distance between me and the car in front (still working on that one but better).
There's a tendency to blame something other than yourself (I do it too) but really, you don't rear end someone if you are operating your vehicle properly. No one was killed and you can learn from it. I know you will because I see that you are a good guy.

Re: F150 Accident
I'd fight the ticket especially if you just rear ended the Saturn and no one was hurt with relatively minor damage to both vehicles. In my thinking the only way the cop could give you a careless driving is either HE saw you driving in a careless manor or if the evidence suggested it such as skid marks that would be longer then skids marks for the posted speed or the driver of the Saturn filed it. Sucks big time. Hopefully some one on the boards will have the correct advice. Keep your chin up.
I wish I had my camera a couple weeks ago. Saw a cop texting while driving :

F150 Accident
my fault, never bringing the dog anywhere with me again. I've never felt so bad in my life before, I've hurt this truck so much as I've driven her.
slammed into a Saturn at a light, my bumper was caved in, the Saturn's bumper was cracked, I got out and asked the people in the car if they were OK, driver didn't talk, passenger said she initially had pains from the seatbelt, but she was OK, then as she rolled the window up, told me "You young kinds need to slow down and pay attention when you are driving" I don't even talk on the phone when I drive, driving is the most important thing in my life, I do my best to be the best, most of the time I don't even listen to the radio
I got a ticket for Careless driving, which is a load of bull, it should be less than that, I was briefly distracted by Ozzy
Pictures to come when I figure out my mom's camera
