Under $1000 in damage. In my state (I don't know AZ law either) a lot of PDs will just tell them to exchange info and file a report online if its under $1000. If there's no damage at all it isn't even considered a crash, even if the cars made contact.
Quoting Anonymous:It did make me go hummmm, but I don't wholeheartedly believe race had anything to do with it, but you are correct I have no idea what the law is regarding accidents is, since I've never been in one. BUT what I did see was two wrongs and no repercussions. What is under 1000 mean? like damage worthy?

And here we go with the racism. You need to check Arizona law. In my state anything under 1000 does not require a police report and MANY PDs wouldn't have even responded.

grow up..hum I don't see how not calling to report an accident isn't grown up. I'm not pissed at her, she was very kind actually. Like I've stated before I'm really confused at how the law works, she did two things wrong, going down a one way, and caused an accident...but no repercussions.

So, you're pissed that a little old lady who did minimal damage to your suv didn't.get a ticket? Even though you wasted valuable tax dollars and police time with your piddly little report. Next time maybe you should call a whaaaambulance. Grow up.

That's why I don't like driving in Phx. Getting on the 60 and sometimes loop 202 is scary! But dang that sucks. Hopefully everything works out in your favor
Tell me about it! My issues is with 10. I was driving with my toddler going an even 65 and a huge piece of wood flew off a truck and hit my car but hit the groove on the Hood so it missed my windshield and just knocked my side mirror right off. Had it not hit that groove I don't even want to think what would have happened. Scary. AZ is full of very idiotic drivers who dont think let alone are clueless how to drive in the rain! :-/

I was in a HORRIBLE accident when a drunk driver out partying with her friend caused a pile up on the highway. She hit us at over 65 mph with no braking, I then went into the cars in front of me (we were at a standstill on an overpass) and all four cars were totaled with us taking the brunt of the force of the accident. Anyway, I was badly hurt. My kids were okay, thank goodness. I had a witness that stopped to help us out of my car and told the officers he would give a statement. He was dismissed with no statement, no DUI tests were performed and the cops were all over the girls wondering if they were okay. The two girls jumped out of their hugs SUV giggling and goofing around while I was on an overpass, badly injured with three little kids crying from the accident, the height of the overpass and all the cars going by. It was marked on the accident report that they were drinking but they had no charges, like I said they didn't even test them. I had to have back surgery, I have pain everyday and I had a stroke from a tear in the vertebral artery and almost died. I owe more bills than the itty bitty settlement I received. It turns out that the drivers daddy was an officer in the military and I firmly believe that is why the rest of us were left with this expression o.O as they took her home with zero tickets, zero DUI testing and zero culpability in destroying my life.
Sorry, rant over. I have come across several ass hat officers here and I have always been a supporter of those that serve and protect.

We had a work ladder fall off a truck and our car ran right over the damn thing on the 51. Luckily no damage to our vehicle but I called adot to report it. That sucked

Driving in the rain OMG it's very scary here. People seem to go faster LOL vs slowing down. "They can't drive without rain. Let alone with the rain here" <<Is right
Quoting AF2011:
That's scary. Lucky nothing worse has happened. And yeah AZ drivers are scary! Especially when the snow birds come back which is right around this time. Great! The 10 is a scary freeway. I feel like if I can touch the car next to me if I put my hand out of the window. And that's why I try not to drive in the rain. They can't drive without rain. Let alone with the rain here!
