Not to cause trouble but if this is the case then how do police officers issue citations at accidents when they are not present during the accident?
In an accident you can usually tell who is at fault (rear car is always at fault, witnesse
s say car ran red light, etc.) With a road rage complaint you may not have evidence to substanitiate any citation.
That is correct at accidents police are called to investigate if one person is clearly in the wrong a citation is issued. Many cities have even quit doing that they just give you a blue form & have you call your insurance if the accident is minor. We don't want someone being able to call the police & based on their statement alone the police issue a citation.
