Hard to say whether there will be charges. Likely there are subpoenas being issued for cell phone records. An inspection of electronics in the vehicle from hands-free phone systems to radios. A search of prior speeding tickets and safety violations, etc.
A "swerve" is often due to road conditions, irrespective of experience. Although, I am occasionally surprised when 2 or 3 cars pass when I'm expecting 1 or 2.
In this case, we haven't been informed about road conditions.
But we do have an active discussion about lane positioning, as well as in front of or behind the SAG wagon.
