well, for starters, the not at fault accidents were completely not her fault, in one, a man swerved into her lane and hit her head on. Two were rear endings when she slowed down and the person behind her was tailing too close (morning rush hour traffic). The other one, she was sitting in the car at a gas station and a guy misjudged the gap between her and the pump and tried to squeeze through, literally. Only one of the accidents carries an Ohio police report according to the Ohio BMV website. She's not worried about the cops thinking she has a record, just insurance.

As for those of you suggesting riding a bike, get real people... She's a physician and currently a resident. She has limited time to get between the hospital and clinics she works at and works nutzy hours. There is no way in hell she could do it even with Cleavland's public transportation. Try and make some useful suggestions before criticizing her for bad luck and persistence.

As for taking responsibility for it, it's one thing to be honest, it's another thing to make one, albiet stupid, mistake and loose both your insurance and job at the same time when she has only her income to support her family. If it is true that the cop was out of his jurisdiction, then the ticket is not valid, period.
