Re: Can I be arrested?

It depends, was there an accident? Did you do damage to someone else's property?

If not then a police officer must witness a traffic infraction or be able to peice one together from physical evidence at the scene to be able to charge you in a case like this.

Slow down, drive carefully and Good Luck.
