Ok so I avoided a accident with another car I must of came close to a construction workers car so they got in the car and followed me and got my plate #
I didn't know I was being followed but a another car saw it and told me 4-5 lights later.
I was shocked to hear it.
Can anything happen I don't know..
If so what should I do?
I'm told since the police didnt' see it and no one got hurt it isn't a legal matter.
I'm worried the last thig I need is a ticket or a fine as money isn't good now.
Plus I didnt' have any choice I am luck I didnt' hit ANYONE.
I was just avoiding another accident.
Thanks for the help!

It was one of those times I was paying attension I just couldn't see the worker in front of his truck.
I saw the truck and was workign on getting around it when a lady just flew past and almost hit me so i swerved to avoid her.
I guss the worker was in the front and herd the whole thing?
I alsway watch out for workers so It's nto that I was speeding or not totaly aware it was just one of those times..
Thanks for the advice!!!!!

Construction zones are a serious issue when you have workers so close to traffic going by at high speeds. It's sad when inconsiderate drivers take the workers lives into their own hands.
As for the offense...
Since an officer didn't see the offense...the officer can't issue the ticket. However, any person that witnessed the event CAN file a warrant for careless driving or reckless endangerment.
This means that person would have to take time to file a police report...then file a warrant for arrest. Many don't want to take the time to do this.
My opinion...but I think everybody was lucky this time and nothing more will occur.
Lesson learned........be more defensive when driving!

What were the conditions under which you were almost involved in an accident? Were you driving too fast? Not really paying attention? Both things you really need to watch in construction zones. I really don't think you have to worry about anything happening to you, but you really need to be more careful in construction zones. Given the choice between hitting another car and a construction worker, I think the choice is clear. I'm guessing you weren't paying complete attention since you claim to not have even seen the construction worker.

If you weren't speeding in a construction zone then BFD. If you were, then FU.
Construction workers have a part to play in their own safety. But they can't control car speeds.

If the cops didn't see they won't be bothered since nobody was hit.

Geez, wait and see if anything happens. Then, come back and ask what to do about it. For now, don't do anything.
