"Is it legal for a trooper to mail a summons for careless driving 2 days after an accident ? ? ? ?"
*** Yes.

"Why wasn't it issued at the scene ? ?"
*** Without knowing all the facts, one reason could be that he wasn't able to complete his investigation, get witness statements, etc. at the scene.

"Will it hold up in court ? ? ?"
*** Unless there was a procedural or policy error, very likely that it will.
