Cops only issue tickets to the person that was at fault, ContourGuy got a ticket. Maybe you need to track down that cop and teach him some things.[/b]Exactly right Perry. That means the damage for all vehicles will fall on his insurance (or his parents - God help them)
If he received the ticket then it was deemed he pulled in front of the minivan and is therefore the sole blame for the accident. That's the way it goes. Regardless of what anyone says or sometimes even may have happened...
I've never made much noise about my feelings on this or his getting his car handed to him, but this is a perfect example of why responsibility should be earned...
Buy your own car, pay your own insurance, and do or pay for your own maintenance... Otherwise true responsibility and accountability will never been learned...
Even if some, all or none of these apply the gist of the message still does...
