Mike Brandt’s client was charged with Failing to Drive with Due Care because of an accident that occurred in the City of Blaine in July of 2018. Mike’s client was accused of merging onto a freeway and when the car ahead of him stopped unexpectedly, rear-ending the vehicle. In these types of cases, it’s very difficult to show that one was using due care, and any sort of conviction would have marred Mike’s client’s driving record.
Because of Mike’s client’s personal situation, the facts of the case, as well as his clean record, the prosecuting attorney agreed to continue the ticket for dismissal. This means that Mike’s client paid some nominal costs and as long as he does not get a ticket for one year, the charge will be dismissed.
