Not to mention, maybe the officer just wanted to cut the driver a bit of a break. I would imagine that CPS sees a ton of sh***y driving every day, and if they could take away people's licenses like some of the folks seem to want, I doubt that we'd have the traffic congestion issues we do.
It looked like she bumped the other car. Probably not much damage. The other driver may have had a hand in it, too. If he wasn't too cheesed off, got her info and knows she's getting the insurance ding for it...some folks are pretty chill, and don't want someone's head to roll everytime life deals them a bit of bad luck.
