what amazes me is that he let me drive him home from the hospital, i certainly wouldn't trust me behind the wheel of car again...although, haven't heard too many bad female driver jokes yet.
actually, overall, we were damn lucky and Steven is amazing, kept a calm head with his broken arm while i was hysterical and repeating "i'm so sorry" over and over again as we stood on the highway. now begins the aftermath...dealinf with his rehab, the insurance claim, my court date...one day at a time.

stole this from the vision forum
Not really my area of law, but most police officers tend to assume there has to be some sort of driver error in any "accident". Their theory is that the driver should always operate the vehicle in a safe manner so as to maintain control at all times. Thus, from their perspective, there is no such thing as a vehicle "accident". Great theory but at times, you may be more of a traffic hazard going the safe speed than if you are keeping up with traffic.

well apparently, the fact that i failed to maintain control of my car is considered reckless driving...because i normally go into front end spins while driving along. i have no idea how they got reckless but i guess they have to pin the fault on someone...and the ininjured driver with a speeding record seems like a fine choice, despite the fact that was actually only going about 35 mph and i have witnesses who said it wasn't my fault.
