Q: I e been charged with unsafe backing up as well as dwls
The accident happened at my employer parking lot. I was moving the company van from in front of a garage door to a spot directly behind. Another vehicle was not paying attention and ran into me.
Is there a leg to stand on to plea not guilty?
A: It is unclear on your facts whether the accident was your fault or not--generally speaking, if you were backing up, it is more likely your fault, but that is really irrelevant to your bigger issue, which is being charged with driving while intoxicated or--if this is what you mean: driving without a license. Those tickets carry many potential serious consequences, including jail and points that could result in suspensions, etc. You need a lawyer.
