As relevant as those details may be to your personal life, they are irrelevant to the case against you. Also, an aside note--it was clear from your posting that there were a lot of details that reflect not only on your character, but your actions ( and probably the plaintiffs as well). Let me point out some things that can completely destroy your credibility.

Your first posting you say HE had an affair with YOUR wife---instead of saying I had an affair with HIS wife as well ( I presume ). So, it appears to an impartial party that once you realized your recounting of events seemed to give you motive to act consistent with the charge against you, you then amended your "details" to presumably include those that had are intended to make HIM look as though HE had motive, instead of you or instead of JUST you having motive. Amendments are only good when they are part of the Constitution---and not part of "your side of the story". If your case is presented in court as you presented it here, your credibility is shot to Hades, handbasket or not.

Now, lets address your recounting of events:

I was behind him on the highway. he drives a ford pickup for his work. I did not know it was im as there are many trucks ( white ) just like his. We both went into the turn lane to exit to a side street. The cop was behind me in the trun lane. he turned into the outside ( right lane ) and I turned into the inside (left ) lane. I passed him and came uponm a small blues car in the left lane. I moved into the right lane, at which time he began to follow me VERY closely and at that time i realized who it was.

Now, reread carefully. Your first lines put YOU behind HIM in a single lane of traffic. And, you say as you made the turn, the road branched into two lanes. You then state "he turned into the outside) --he who? he, the cop, or he the truck? You then state you passed "him" (so you went in FRONT of him into the right lane)---then your story gets impossible. You state the blue car was in the left lane and started to come over so you swerved INTO THE BLUE CARS LANE since there was a ditch on the right? Aside from the fact that those statements make NO sense whatsover, your first posting says you slammed on the brakes--nothing was said about changing lanes. So, now you say you actually changed lanes OUT of the trucks lane? How could you be trying to get him to hit you if you were in a DIFFERENT lane? Makes no sense.

Not only have I had my life altered by careless drivers, after being hit by one on January 28, 2005, my husband also died at the hands of one last year. And, as the owner of several invaluable (to me---not necessarily money wise ) Corvettes, I am constantly driving in a defensive manner. When what you say about the blue car happened to me in one of the Vettes, I didn't swerve back AT the car that was heading towards me, and I didn't turn to the right either because there was another lane of traffic. But, you can bet your assets I stood all 500 hp up on end stopping and stripped about six months worth of rubber off the tires.

I cannot picture what you are stating happened. Why did the cop pull you over and give you no citation? Again, who signed the warrant? Did the cop? These details are all relevant and have a great deal of bearing on the reasonable outcome of the trial.

Oh, and PS back... it doesn't matter how many people are in the town. In fact, stating how small the town is makes it more unbelievable that you didn't recognize this guy--- I wouldn't try to convince a judge you didn't recognize the truck that belongs to your Nemesis. I own a stock black late model VW beetle---and I can pick it out of a crowd at a glance. I also own a huge 15 passenger van, completely white, like the truck you describe, no special markings or bumper stickers--and I, too, can spot it at a thousand paces among a dozen just like it.

If you want to be credible, stick to things that are believable and be upfront. Your "story" would have been much more believable if you said, before I was divorced, my wife and I each had affairs with another married couple, and it was he whose truck it was that I almost hit as a result of a careless driver who suddenly swerved lanes. I feel that, out of spite, he is bringing this action against me because I, too, had an affair with his wife. (you are admitting responsibility for your actions, and establishing motive for his). This is just an example of what I mean by telling the whole story. Thats why I keep asking you WHO SIGNED the warrant? if it was the cop, the other guy isn't the plantiff, he is just a witness against you. If HE signed it, HE is the plaintiff and the COP is the witness. It matters.

Although, I have to tell you, unfortunately, the whole "man my wife cheated with" thing is so unbelievable in the sense that you 1. didn't recognize him and 2. that you didn't act intentionally.

Note--I am not stating you are being untruthful, or that you acted intentionally. I am just trying to explain to you how it looks and sounds to a disinterested ( from a legal standpoint ) party.
