Re: After accident, the police gave me a Careless Driving ti

So the Notice of Trial just says

"You have the right to receive disclosure [...] You must ask the prosecutor for disclosure in order to receive it."

No mention of including phone number or coming in person.

It's not a guaranteed you'll go to one and receive the same offer at the other. That being said, it's usually the same or something similar.
