My question involves a traffic accident in the State of: California
Hello everyone,
I am still very shaken as my accident just happened hours ago.
I was pulling off the freeway and was about to turn left. There was a car in front of me (but no cars in front of her). She slammed on the break at the cross walk driving at about 35 MPH AS SOON AS the light turned yellow. I rear ended her car. We pulled over to the side of the road and exchanged info. She was rushing the process. She apologized for what happened because she was stressed out about taking her grad test (she was on her way to school). We didn't report the accident. But in the event that she decides to report later, would it be my fault? I have a passenger who can be my witness that she abruptly stopped at the light and apologized.
Please advise as I can't have this go on my record. I am about to become a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) and this requires me to have a good driving record (I will be driving the kid around)
