What is difference between these choices?
My friend got into an accident and he admits fault (says he didn't fully stop at stop sign), but other friend says a guilty plea can be used against him if there is a civil suit.
I have never been in an accident myself and this discussion made me curious about the process.
This is a question about legal issues, not morality. I understand we all should take responsibilities for our wrongs, I am interested in understanding legal consequences.
If you don't know anything about the legal system, don't bother answering!
