And the police aren't intersted unless your injured or causing an obstruction |
The police aren't interested because people only want to know them after things have gone wrong such as possibly in this instance? "No mate it's alright no need to call the police we can just swap details and let the insurance companies sort it out", "Yeah that's fine, we can do it like that". Oh no I've been fed a load of sh*t, I know I'll call, the police 3/4/5, day's later and let them try and find out who this bloke was driving a car that's not registered to them or insured to anyone.
If the car's not registered and it's only worth 2 goldfish and a toffee apple chances are post accident it will have been sold on or dumped. Short of the driver having some remarkably distinctive features how do you identify them?
But there you go people expect the old bill to get excited at the prospect of dealing with a pretty much no hope job when someone couldn't be arsed to call them in the first place.
When this doesn't happen some helpful person will encourage you to lie -
You have to go to doctors with pain in neck,whiplash can come on days after crash then see police and inform them you were injured then they have to act.
The only action they have to take is to record it as an injury accident is recordable,. If there's no prospect of identifying the driver of the offending vehicle they won't take it any further than that.
Apologies Lee if this scenario doesn't apply in your circumstances but invariably the above is pretty near the mark
