Careless Driving Ticket for Driving into a Curb

[beatlesgirl1986]

My question involves a careless driving ticket from the State of New Jersey. On Friday, I was driving in my car with my boyfriend when we got into a ridiculous argument. We stopped in the parking lot at WaWa where he led me to believe he was going inside, instead he started walking away from the car towards the street. I followed him in my car and told him to get back in but he would not listen, so i Got out and was really uspet and was crying and talking very loudly telling him to please just get in the car what am I supposed to do leave you stranded? (we were 45 min away from his house). I just kept following him and he kept saying to leave him alone. Some people driving on the street saw and wanted to know what was giong on and saw that i was crying and yelling at him and tried to put their hands on me to stop me from continuing to walk after my boyfriend. I told them to leave me alone and I got in my car after giving up. I started driving away when cops (that the strangers called) showed up, so I attempted to turn and stop but instead I hit a curb. Cops hand cuffed me and saw me crying hysterically and I asked "why are you handcuffing me, for running into the curb?" and of course they didn't answer. They thought I was suicidal since i was crying so much so they sent me in an ambulance to the crisis center. I calmed down and told the doctor what happened and that I do not want to hurt myself or others and they let me go. The nxet day I went with someone to pick up my car and I saw that my car keys were missing. I called the police station where the incident took place and they said they had my keys....so yesterday was the first time 'ive had time to go there since I am a full time college student. I picked up the manilla envelop and to my surprise, along with my car keys, were two tickets. One for careless driving and One for disorderly conduct. I was pissed and upset...I was not driving careless i was driving normally and accidentally scraped my car againt the curb. And disorderly conduct.. I was just having an argument with my boyfriend and trying to convince him to get back in the car and I was crying because he was cursing and calling me names before he got out of the car so i was upset so I cry loud. This is a disaster and since they sent me to the crisis unit in a hospital, they obviously thought I wasn't in the proper state of mind.. so how could they hold me responsible for things I did when I was not in "normal mind set".. I spoke to my therapist and she said she's never heard of cops giving anyone a ticket whom they sent to crisis. All this happened because my boyfriend got out of my car and started wandering away from me like a little kid would do..this is not fair I drive perfectly fine have never gotten a speeding ticket or anything......any advice whether I should plead guilty to both or not etc? I have never been to court before so I dont even know what happens?

Good lord. You just copied the LJ post about this over here?

The answer still remains unchanged. You're responsible for the ticket.
