I have no idea how anybody
I have no idea how anybody can fault the Police in this case, you are absolutely right, they gave the guy a break by just citing him for careless driving. Maybe they should have just left him there to fend for himself. Also, if Utley is so innocent he can always fight the ticket, can you say, "Laughed out of court". If someone did get hurt, (just dumb luck they didn't), the driver would be facing a whole different can of worms, because someone didn't, doesn't make it any less careless.
