Tbh the idea of a doctor's note for sick days is the stupidest thing to me. 90% of the sick days I take from my job are for migraines. I'm not going to the doctor for a migraine, there's no need, and I certainly shouldn't be driving when I have one, but it's still a perfectly valid reason to take a sick day. The odds of me even being able to get a doctor's appointment to get a note before returning to work is slim, and I'm not paying the urgent care upcharge just to get a note. I guess maybe some people have a good enough relationship with their primary care doctor that they'd write a note without a visit?

Yea, I did, I just happen to agree with the user who said that even if they had not moved their car, the cop would have reprimanded them, just instead for blocking traffic.

My husband has been involved in multiple hit and runs. He's been reprimanded for moving, and for not moving, and in one case where the driver didnt flee the scene, the cop insisted there was nothing he could do because he didn't witness the accident despite there being immediately accessible video evidence.

Most cops aren't going to help you anyway, so move your damn car out of the middle of the road.
