 AK> run into the car in front of him or her.

 TR> I think that would be an automatic dismissal if they went to court and

 TR> happened but the officer has no evidence or testimony the person is
 TR> guilty of anything." What would the judge do, flip a coin? 
Like I said, I'm not sure if they were moving or not.  They were probably all
moving.  In which case they would all be guilty.  My sister is a teacher, and
most of the other drivers involved in the accident were high school students.
