Accident....might be scam...any help
Here's what happened. I was leaving my girlfriend's house around 10:00 last night. I was going southbound on Capitol Exp. in San Jose. I stopped at a red light. Im about half a cars length behind him. Then the car in front me starts reversing. I see his reverse lights so I start honking. Then he backs up into me. I'm boxed in so I can't go anywhere. I get out and he said that I was driving to fast and why did I hit him. I called the police to get a police report. The officer said it was his word against mine. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

File a police report, and take pictures of where the accident happened. Make sure you take a picture of the actual road to prove there were no tire marks left by your car.
If you were driving fast enough to have to slam the brakes before hitting someone -ABS or not, there should be some tire marks. Thus, proving you did not hit him.

Investigators can determine what lights are on when they go out after accident. Call your insurance. Have them start an investigation. NOW. At the least, they can test your black box and determine your speed. A "0" reading would be a major problem for the other guy.

If the data can't be retrieved from your car, see what your lawyer says about getting the data from his car's.
