Who's got the time to wait for the officer who drew the short straw and takes nearly an hour to get there?

For a small fender bender, no police report is necessary, esp if one accepts the responsibility.

Sorry, bro. Not in Houston (Harris). I called the cops and they told me that they only come out for wrecks with injuries. Then they told me to download an accident report and fax it in.

That sucks.


The accident I was in involved 5 vehicles during rush hour traffic on the freeway. A cop was at the scene within like 10 minutes. No serious injuries, all vehicles able to drive away. I thought the only time they won't do a police report is if it was on private property(ex: fender bender in a shopping center parking lot).

Until they subsequently deny accepting responsibility and sue you for imaginary back injuries. Come on dude, always get a police report.

Police reports are not available for 48 hours or so and have to be picked up later.
