Effective today, Las Vegas Metro’s new policy is that they don’t respond to non-injury traffic accidents. From what I saw this weekend, that
might present some problems.
Yesterday I saw the two drivers of these vehicles not long after this accident happened. No one was hurt, but it sure looked like someone was about to be.
When I turned into the parking lot and saw two young women standing in the street, shaking their fingers in each other faces, heatedly exchanging words, and furiously making phone calls on their cell phones, I slowed down to see if a fist fight was coming next.

I stopped to fuel my car and watched from a distance as the
yelling/finger pointing/phone calling continued.
I continued to my next stop, and when I came out twenty
minutes later, I saw flares and a crowd of people. A fire truck had stopped and
was blocking the lane the fender bender was in.
Next, I went grocery shopping.
An hour later, I came out of the store and was shocked to see the same cars, in the same position, only now there were several people standing
around, in what looked like opposing camps (apparently all those phone calls
were to family and friends)… and a motorcycle officer.
What’s going to happen now that Metro won’t be responding to
non-injury accidents like this?
Do we just let them duke it out in the street?
This is one of those
times I wish I still worked for Metro. I’d love to read that report.
What do you think of
Metro’s new policy on non-injury traffic accidents?
