I recieved 2 tickets in the mail, the cop had written down false information saying I was following too closely and going to fast. He was not even on the scene when it had happened. I know for sure both of these facts are not true. I have to go to court next mo. . I have never been to court for anything, does anyone know what goes on in a case like this, and any advice on the false reasons I got the tickets? Any other advice would be great.
Thank you

In order to arrive at an answer regarding your collision the facts to us have to be known. If you re ask the question with the time of the collison - the direction you were headed - and the circumstances that created the colllision - a better answer can be formulated to include what you can do in court

In a rear end accident insurance companies focusing on the rear ender and not the rear endee.
If you rear ended someone, you were following too close for the driving conditions. Period. No judge in his right mind is going to see it your way.
Pay the fine, it will cost more in court costs to fight it. A rear accident liability clear falls with the rear ender.. Pay the claim and don't be a dead beat.

If you rear ended someone else, it is you fault. You were following too close. The only exception to this is if you can show that the other person pulled in front of you or cut you off.
If there are skid marks, your speed can be determined based on the length of the skid marks and the weight of your vehicle.

Unfortunately I have been in your shoes. Although the officer was "not even on the scene" at the time of the accident it was his skill and experience in similar matters during the course of his investigation of the accident that led him to charge you with the accident. Get a lawyer, fast. You're going to need one.

The fact that you rear-ended somebody demonstrates that you were following too close and going too fast.
It is your responsibility to maintain a safe following distance. If you cannot stop in time - then you have violated the law.

Please contact an attorney experienced in traffic matters, NOW. Do this as soon as possible so you are prepared for the hearing.
A lawyer might be expensive, but not as much as being sued, etc. - and a conviction will make a suit more likely.
Also ask your insurance company what to do.
Good luck.

As a general rule, if you hit someone from behind with your vehicle, you were in fact traveling to close. If weather was a factor, ie rain snow, the too fast for conditions will apply as well...

It's either you were really close to the other driver or your eyes are crooked. How the hell can you say a police officer made a false statement when you hit him?

Sounds like you rear ended someone. If so, you WERE following too closely.
