Going to court over wrecked car: What should I do?
So, short story I borrowed my parents' car (with their consent) and went driving into town. While driving into town, I acidentally rear-ended someone, totally smashing the front of my parents' car, while the back end of theirs wasn't so badly damaged. Only rough damage was some of the bumper was hanging off. No one was hurt, and this is my first accident reported as my fault.
Police came, and gave me a court-summons ticket, where my ticket was marked as: careless driving, not wrecked driving. I'm out of my mind freaking out, and really need some advice. The accident happened in Colorado and I live in Colorado, it was marked down as four points, and I need advice on what to do in court. The cars will be taken care of no problem, but please give me advice. :(

Quit freaking out. There is a reason it's called an accident. An officer can write anything he wants on a ticket, a judge makes all the decisions. Get an attorney or a public defender and explain to the judge with all do respect what happened. You were not drinking, using drugs or driving a stolen car. These things happen everyday and by the time they call your name you will be in front of the judge for less than 3 minutes and outta there.

If the ticket is for Section 42-4-1402 then you are being charged with a misdemeanor. You do not want a misdemeanor. Get an attorney. Plead not guilty and ask your attorney to negotiate a plea bargain with the DA for a lesser charge.
