It depends on your past driving record and if personal injury was involved. if this is your first traffic citation, you probably will qualify to attend a 4 hour defensive driving course. once completed, the citation will be dismissed. If personal injury was involved, you may face civil litigation, since the accident was your fault.

The usual penalty is a traffic fine and points on your license, which will vary from state to state. You may be able to avoid the points and lessen the fee if you attend driving school. Contact the traffic division of your local court; they can answer your questions more specifically.
