I'm not talking about driving for 5 minutes looking for a palce to turn off. I mean simply driving right around the corner and off the busier streets. I'm sure the officer wouldn't mind becasue after all his life's in danger if he's standing on a busy street writing a ticket or talking to you.
I see your point but in CA where I'm from in the driver's handbook it says to move off the road after a minor fender bender which is what most accidents are. Also chances are it'll be an easy case for the officer to determine who's at fault because usually you have witnesses and usually the car with rear end damage is the innocent party (unless the driver upfront just slammed on their brakes for no reason).
