Got knocked off my bike in June

Logged RTC, received URN, was informed I'd be contacted in 3-4 weeks

Obviously never happened

Do I just assume the police dont give a st or dont have time to deal with it? Am I wasting my time chasing it up. I knew full well I'd not hear back.

Police officer might not have even seen it? Police staff might.

Or you are correct and they don’t give a st but the way to find out is to contact them and ask.

IMHO they don't care because you were on a cycle! get back to them and push for action (it's the only way they'll change). Whilst cycling, I was repeatedly chased by a dog (and had a witness) but Police just spoke to the owners and made comments such as "the dog seems friendly" and after it chased me when it was a mile from it's home they said "but they seem such nice people - they've invited you around for a cup of tea to meet the dog". The owners even admitted the dog chases people and things!
I don't know how I stopped myself from saying "I bet drugged up people seem nice and friendly - do you let them off?"
they ignored it for a further 3 months, and when i said I'd have a word with the local Farmer (because he can legally shoot it) they then issued a Dog Notice still they made the remark "I didn't really want to do it because they seem such nice people" I made the comment "It chased me when It was a mile from its' home, is that why dogs are chipped?" the Officer seemed to get a bit irate. I later found out (from another person who's horse was scared by the dog) that the owners dogs (at least 3 seen by me) aren't chipped. If the mut chases me again I'll escalate it to the Commissioner, because something is fishy

OP,

Contact the force in question and ask for an update, if it's been filed then they should have told you.

Carry some laxative chocolate. Dogs love it. 1 hour later blast off hopefully on the lounge carpet.

Perhaps the information on the report you gave them simply wouldn't be enought to do anything with?

Only you know what happened, what information you gave and what you expected the outcome to be.

As others have said, contact for an update.

OP - I wouldnt bank on too much happening. A retired Police mate of mine - a keen cyclist was knocked off his bike by a motorist earlier this year. Police attended as he was injured. Despite drivers admissions at the scene and independent witnesses who confirmed the motorist was in the wrong - the process and collisions unit decided to take No further action in the matter

Dogs and chocolate. That's a good idea.

Don’t let the dog chase strangers then.

not very funny if it gets under a wheel and knocks the rider off though!

Yeah that makes sense. Excitable dog chasing (not attacking?).

Propose giving poison to that dog in response . Nice one.

The type of person to put poisoned meat over a neighbouring fence for a barking dog.

Oh I forget it's our pedal powered friends we're talking about smile

Could have been "Dog Order" now I think about it more.
