Was it right to be ticket and will it be held up in court.

Your facts are a difficult read, but based on what you wrote, it sounds like there was probable cause to issue you a citaton. You pulled out in front of someone and caused an accident.

You can of course contest the ticket. Was anyone hurt? The other driver may have a cause of action against you. My advice would be to consult a local attorney to make sure your rights are protected.

Probable cause does support the issuance of a traffic citation. In this instance you did do enough so that probable cause did exist for the policeman to give you a ticket. I agree with Mr. Garner.

You should notify your insurer as well so they know of the matter should a claim against you be made for personal injury.

Good luck.
