ah ha....
so what happens is this...
you see someone hit your car, (providing your 100% certain mind) they drive off into the distance thinking they got away with it cos you need an indipandant wittness to verify the incident.
at that very same time, some one you know (obviously this is unbeknown to the law or insurance companies) seen them do it also.......
bingo, theres ya wittness. couple of pints don the pub should keep them happy meanwhile the hit and run scumbag gets done on 2 accounts hopefully
not that i condone any form of truth bending

And a police officer sees you breaking the speed limit. He doesn't actually manage to clock your speed, because you see him and slow down as soon as he starts to follow you. However, he stops you and tells you that you'll be reported for speeding.so what happens is this...

Now, how do you feel about that?
What's the difference between that and what you advocate?

OK, I take your well-made point and you are quite right.
It is a bummer when someone scratches your car and drives off. All too common nowadays though.
Even if the other driver stops and gives you their address, you can still lose out.
Many years ago I had someone drive into the back of my 850 Mini (it was that long ago). The lady driver got out and looked at the dent in my bumper, gave me her name and address, etc. She said she didn't want to claim, and to send her the estimate which she would pay. I did that and heard nothing. It turned out that, by co-incidence, a friend of mine know her husband slightly and he was a solicitor. Not witness, no evidence, no possible court case, no money.

in a world that is fair, this situation would never surface, but its happening all to often.
a different slant on it is, if you hit a car thats already been damaged what do you do. you are then relying on the owner to sya hold up, you didnt do that bit so al only take half the repair money from you.....
it relys on trust all round really, summit there aint a great deal of.
lesson for today, try no to park your car anywhere where its likely to be damaged, try and park under a cctv and FFS, dont hit anything yourself then you cant ever be the victim of a a suspect friendly indipendant wittness lol
