Re: find the driver's address
LOL
Now I just need to find that box of SARS. Actually, a cold may do the trick. He was some crotchety old guy with high mileage.

sorry to hear... though I think it's almost impossible to fight any violation where you hit...
Someone in the rear...
I had a rare case years ago when someone abruptly cut from a left lane going for a parking spot to the right of my lane. I was traveling over twice his speed when he cut across my lane stomping on his on brakes trying to make the spot... I had about a second of breaking before I buttholed him. The cop on the scene said this was probally one of the few cases where I wouldn't be sited for rear ending someone... even then he spoke to a good deal of witness and measured all kinds a stuff.

Leave it to the police for pulling over people with smoked tails....
and ignoring people with no tails at all.
I would so make confetti from germ riddled tissues, put them in a box with a spring between two pieces of cardboard, so when its opened, the contaminated confetti launches out at him.
I am just imagining an ancient F150 ford with the rear end like way up there, all rusted the fvck out, no tails, no hub caps, several colors of anti-rust paint/bondo. Dents.
Should have splashed the guy with some rum, or soemthing before the cop got there, then they'd think he was drunk.
Honestly I would try to get a statement from the guy admitting that his tails dont work and didnt work. But I am gonna guess that he was more of the ******* type who knows that its his fault, was following too closely to the Merc, and just wants to dick you over for him loosing his $100 truck that he loves ever so much.

A good forensic specialist should be able to tell if the brake lights were active at the time...
of the accident. When the lights are on, the filiments are hot, and therefore flexible. They tend to bow toward the direction of inertia.. When the lights are off, the filiments usually break off, or stay streight.
Good luck!

Yeah, no kiddin...
I couldn't believe it when I got out of the car. I think what happened was the truck was recoiling from smacking the MBZ as I hit him. Double the force of impact.

Better yet, I've had my plates run because my rear fog light was on, my g/f was messing with me...
the cop ran my plates and found my registration was past due. So I got pulled over and I figured out it was the extra fog light so I explained it to him. He was cool, considering he could have towed my car, so he just gave me an invalid registration ticket. I'm not mad at my g/f because if I never got pulled over, I wouldn't have known my registration was out of date (how it got that way is another story) and I may have been screwed by another cop somewhere else.
