MICHAEL Phelps faces court after being cited with driving without a licence and failure to establish residency in the US state of Maryland.
Baltimore police say Olympic gold medalist was in a car accident yesterday, but it wasn't his fault.
However, Phelps will be penalised for presenting an expired Michigan driver's licence.
Baltimore Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the driver of the other car, Amanda Virkus, will be cited for failure to obey a red light and causing an accident.
Those citations carry a maximum penalty of a $US180 ($A213) fine and three points on a driver's licence.
Phelps lived in Michigan between the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. He moved back last year to his native Maryland.

the mikiverse loves free speech and wholeheartedley accepts, that someone who is diametrically opposed to my views is free to promulgate those thoughts...However, misogyny, racism, intolerance etc will see that comment deleted.
These abstract considerations will be solely, and exclusively determined by the mikiverse, so play hard, but, nice.
