I think you're wrong on a couple fronts.

1) "What the Sheriff says, and what the law is, only matters if there's an accident." The sheriff does not have to wait for an accident to enforce a law. Speeding, drunk driving, nudity............all can be ticketed without an accident.

2) "If there's an accident, the insurance company covering the damages to vehicles and medical expenses won't care what the Sheriff said. " If you have it in writing, from the Sheriff's office or Policy Dept..........it does matter.
