You were in the opposing traffic's lane, so you are partically at fault. You can not enter that lane or remain in that lane if the way is not clear. However, the other driver bears responsibility for not slowing for current conditions (other traffic stopped in the road.) It will work to your benefit that you were ticketed. If you are found innocent in court, then your rates will not go up. It's better (from an insurance perspective) to be charged and acquitted than not to be charged at all.
