That means you are charged with the accident and anyone else involved was not therefore it's your fault in the eyes of your insurance. Sucks but it is true, fault for the accident is decided by the ticket and not if the ticket holds up in court. Check your record it will have an at fault collision on it.

Well, myself and the other driver were both issued tickets, and were both given the same infraction, running a red, or failure to obey. The difference is he plead guilty, and paid the fine, and I faught it. Yes the accident is still on my record, but the ticket isn't. My insurance would not be affected if at all until the ticket had gone through the court system. I will find out this week what the outcome of the who is at fault, so we will see.
Yes the other driver did turn left in front of me, red, yellow, will it matter who knows. yeild on coming traffic when turning last I checked.

As for OAC_Sparky. Sorry it happened to you, and no I don't take any offence to your comments. I am very grateful that the ticket was dismissed, happy kinda, reguardless I wish that the whole thing didn't happen. My driving style has changed concideribly. I caution anything ahead of me. I will have a scar on my forearm for the rest of my life to remind me about what happened, not only that, I drive by the intersection everyday on my way to work, and still cringe as I go through.
