Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

non-contact hit and run

My 20 year old son made an unsafe lane change on a freeway causing a speeding car coming up behind him to lose control and crash. He drove to a fire station to report the accident and was arrested there and charged with a non-contact hit and run. He was misrepresented in court and the charge stood. He was convicted on August 29, 2001. Is it too late to appeal? He thought he was being charged with an unsafe lane change.
