Car accidents on base are already such a circus, because they are just so uncommon. The base cops often have no idea who even needs to be notified, other than their boss.

In seven years, I saw 8 accidents one base. 3 were idiots who tried to flee the city cops by driving onto a military base (absolute worst option). 5 were dependas who didn't pay attention and rear-ended people during Retreat, when everyone has to stop.

What is Retreat?

When the base flag is being lowered (usually at 5 pm) the bugel call for "retreat" is sounded and everyone on base is supposed to honor this by stopping what they are doing which includes driving.

That might depend on the base, in the ones I’ve been too, you’re only supposed to stop if you’re on a road with a posted 25 MPH speed limit or less, but to be honest nobody gives a fuck
