so, there was this accident on a highway. i was trying to take the exit, and the car next to me gave me space. i took the exit, but then they suddenly slowed down in the space between the highway and the exit lane. the car behind them hit them, but i wasn’t involved. i was still on the highway and didn’t hit anything. now they’ve pressed charges on me, but i wasn’t at fault. what’s the best way to get out of this?
sounds rough. did you get any evidence, like dashcam footage or anything?

nah, i don’t have a dashcam. i was just focused on not hitting the railing.

you should check if there are any traffic cams in that area. sometimes highways have them.

try contacting the department of transportation in your state. they might know.
wait, what does ‘pressed charges’ mean? like, did you get a ticket or what?

i got a mail from the cops asking for details about the accident.

you can respond to the email or call the number they gave. no need to go in person unless they ask you to.
were you licensed when this happened?

that might complicate things. you should definitely get a lawyer to help sort this out.
how far were you from the accident when it happened?

about 200 meters away, still on the highway.

then you weren’t directly involved. you just need to explain that clearly.

yeah, i’ll try to write everything down and include all the details.
fyi, leaving the spot even if you weren’t involved might look bad. just saying.

yeah, i panicked because i almost hit the railing. didn’t think i needed to stay since i wasn’t part of it.
