I was on I-20 W when I realized I needed to merged left to avoid getting off at the wrong exit. It was a considerable amount of traffic out so i was very cautious about getting over. I slowed down a little a let a car pass on the left and then I merged over right after the passed. A moment later a car hits me in the rear drivers side.
When the Atlanta police showed up he gave me a failure to maintain lane citation. How did I get the citation when I was all the way in the lane?? I had to passengers with me who saw it as well. He never questioned them though.
Can I fight this?? I have never been in an accident before. I'm 100% sure that the accident was not my fault and should not be given a citation for something I wasn't doing! What should I do? Should I get a lawyer? What evidence can i show to prove I maintained my lane? I am not trying to blame the other party, I just know I should not be paying a citation for this. Please help! Any advice!
Thanks
