Except for felonies, a police officer at the scene of a traffic accident may issue a written notice to appear to any driver of a vehicle involved in the accident when, based upon personal investigation, the officer has reasonable and probable grounds to believe that the person has committed any offense under the provisions of this title in connection with the accident.
In such cases the officer shall be endorsed as a witness and shall appear if said case is tried.
