Didn't say that. Going head on isn't a good idea. It proves how brave you are but it gets painful. Much more so when you don't know what your options are. Had he taken the ticket, gone to court, he'd be better off than fighting with a cop. Maybe he got off lucky but if he had been permanently injured, win, lose or draw, you lose. You can argue with a semi all day long about right of way. You get hit, you lose. You find out what your options are and you might be able to do it without risking yourself. Of course, it won't make as big a splash as you getting your head caved in but you got to make some sacrifices.

So they always say. But what they don't say is what to replace the current situation with that will be better.
