Most city folk are blaze about metro area traffic accidents. It amazes me when I see two people who swapped a little paint standing around their cars waiting for the cops to arrive. In DC the rule is, if the cop gets out of his car, everyone is getting a ticket, even if you were just watching. They are not interested unless someone needs the "jaws of life" to get to the hospital. Otherwise, deal with it yourself. That is not an unreasonable take, now that everyone has a cell phone.
