And, no - had you gotten there earlier in the day, a ticket still would not have been written - no matter what you were told. Sometimes it's just easier to tell someone what they want to hear and smile, but if you think they were going to call this guy in to come sign a ticket for that accident a day later........well, I have some property to sell.

By the way..................are you still smoking??? You know I love you you old fart! - Let me know if you need anything!

Bryan, I saw the report. It says, "Collision Report".

Things are probably done differently here in "Bugtussle" than where you're at. I got a ticket for improper changing of lanes a couple years back. I was on my way to Delacroix at 3:00 in the morning. I changed lanes without using a signal and an officer (one of the couple that I didn't know) pulled me over. I told him I was probably going faster than the 45 mph and, yet, you pull me over for changin' lanes when there is no other vehicle in sight? I asked a buddy on the force to see if he could get it dismissed. He said the officer said "no" because I was an "azzhole". I went to the chief. He called the officer in and he said, "No...because he was an azzhole". Well, sometime between that moment and the time I was supposed to pay the fine ($175)...any and all records of the ticket ever being issued were missing. As far as I know they might still be lookin' for it.
