An Act Promoting Defensive Driving, Safeguarding the Constitutional Rights of Motorists Involved in Traffic Accidents, Prohibiting Unwarranted Arrest or Detention Absent Probable Cause of Reckless Imprudence or Negligence, and for Other Purposes
The Defensive Driving Act says that simply being in a crash does not automatically make a driver guilty or subject to arrest; police must have clear evidence—like a valid license, no intoxication, compliance with traffic rules, and proof the other party caused the crash—before detaining someone. Drivers can also present dash‑cam, CCTV, GPS or witness videos to show they were driving defensively, while officers who ignore these rules may face administrative penalties.
