Crash report has me in wrong position and has cited me following too close; the car I hit was beside me!!?

Fight it, you need to appear in court and give a clear, concise illustration of what exactly happened. It may make a difference with your future insurance, as well. If they're going to write you a citation, at least it should be for the correct thing. I haven't known anyone to regret going to court for a traffic violation self-defense.
