At the end of the day, it's a non-injury incident with limited information about the other vehicle involved so the Police are not going to spend hundreds of man hours trying to track down every possible vehicle nationwide who might have been responsible (and I seriously doubt they bother checking every possible vehicle within a 20 mile radius "just in case" either!).

Had someone been injured then they would make far more effort to track down the owner of the offending vehicle, but as it stands, it's simply not worth their time and effort (that's just the harsh reality of the situation).

I doubt that any insurance company would even bother putting an investigator on this case even.

This is one of those unfortunate situations that you simply have to put down to: "St happens!", and it's why you pay for insurance.

If the driver of that suspect car had put a brick through the OPs friends windscreen then made off and somebody got the first four digits - would that be worth pursuing?
