I do notice that around here, compared to other places I have lived. No one ever seems to move there vehicles out of the way after minor accidents.

Actually I was told not to move the vehicle after an accident, by an officer no less. You are to leave the cars where they were and get to a safe place out of the way if possible.

I was rear-ended at a light in September by the mall in Columbia and was pushed through the intersection. My car was totaled. After I realized what had just happened and got over the shock of being hit, I drove it up onto the curb as much as I could as there wasn't a shoulder and the drivers there always seem so oblivious to their surroundings (wonder why I got hit at a red light!). The cops and EMS seemed pleased that it had been moved, but I'm not quite sure what the law is. I think that if you can safely move your car you should, even if it's not such a clear cut case like mine was. I would rather the police and investigators exam the evidence later on than have another person slam into my car and then try to tell my insurance company that I could have safely moved it, but refused to.

I like your siggy, by the way. Very true

Since when do SMIBs pay attention to traffic signs?

If you weren't the car in front, it was your fault for tailgating

Those kinds of signs are generally only posted on major interstates and not local roads. I'd go with whatever the cop says or what seems safer and always keep some kind of camera in your car (cell phone camera, disposable, etc.) along with your insurance & registration info. Just my two cents' worth!
