You're at fault. The person in front wasn't break(sic) checking you, they were braking because it's a yield.

Learn to drive.

I rear ending someone once (they stopped suddenly and had no break lights) but I was still at fault. I received 2 points and my insurance went up slightly.

Oh I know, and over the borderton Massachusetts and over the river to Vermont. Unfortunately I want to stay closer to the larger Boston circle and hence have to pay all the money. But boy there are some really really pretty houses. I love Greenville and new Ipswich but just a little far from my point of getaway. Southeastern Connecticut and the contingent part of Rhode Island also incredible deals. Even better than the area that we are talking about

You definitely hurt your driving record but you are far from uninsurable, so you can come back from this. Your insurance is going to be more expensive, but it's not like you got a DUI or killed someone. I got 2 large speeding tickets within 6mo of each other when I was in my 20's. Eventually, it goes off your record - you just feel the pain for a little bit

Solid advice. Nobody is going to hand anyone anything. You gotta grind and work for it. While all our friends were living up to their means and beyond (and still are) in the McMansions, buying new everything and taking vacations we were socking more than 30% of our salary away and living well below our means in a modest home we owned outright. About a year ago we closed on a 4BR/3bath home on 2 acres. We both retired and are now living the dream.

For anyone who has a burst pipe, go get some Sharkbite fittings, some pex tubing, a pipe cutter, a cheap pex tool and a file and there's a good chance you can fix the problem yourself.

You might want to treat the result as a temporary repair but it's not difficult. DM me and I'll walk you through it.

20$ for same failure to yield yeah. Im 28. Im really worried. And the crazy part is 2 weeks before i was backing up leaving a concert when i hit a concrete barrier and the insurance found me more than 50% responsible. So im literally worried that 6 years of drivinf and in 1 mo th i ruined jt all.

What was the ticket reduced to? Same failure to yield charge or something else? If it is still a failure to yield, thats a moving violation and you got points on your license. This will result in higher rates, especially for a younger driver
