I'd go with the witnesses outside the vehicle with a clear line of sight. SFPD is a joke. How would they get a settlement in a civil case if there is no citation issued?Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03126690168042571353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569046838598986140.post-896099726810485412010-02-18T08:56:32.383-08:002010-02-18T08:56:32.383-08:00Humph.

If the driver was at fault, they should be ticketed. The injured party should not be forced to pursue a lawsuit in order for a modicum of justice to be served.
