M25 smash and plod being useless

Followed a stream of cars other night on M25 one braked hard and the next 2 hit it hard. I just avoided them by a few feet but stopped in front of the first one briefy they all seemed OK but the TT which had just been in front of me and was following way too close came around the cars (despite hitting the one in front hard) and pulled away quickly. My first thought is there goes the other guys insurance as the TT driver didn't wait to exchange details. So I took off and eventually caught the TT (had quite bad drivers front damage) phoned local Plod (Surrey) gave them the details of the car and made the point I was very happy to be a witness for the person the TT had hit.
Needless to say I never heard anything again!

I was out on my calls 6am last Sunday morning when i came across a Astra with the windows down. It was obviously stolen as the barrel was destroyed. There was a golf club hanging out the boot and all sorts of electrical equipment on the floor outside of the car. That to me meant a house had been burgled as well. Called the police gave them the info. Waited outside for them. Half an hour later i flagged a police car down. I gave my details. played with his dog for a bit (the police mans) then went on my way. The cars still there now. They don't give a toss. Cute dog though:

You did your bit in reporting the accident - there was no serious injury(?) so bib will take your details of the runner & do him/her for 1. Failing to report an accident & 2. For leaving the scene of an accident! Also for dangerous driving(?) in travelling so close to the vehicle in front that the driver couldn't stop in time! Silly thing to do that...a runner - it's best to stay & take the punishment cos it'll be more severe now!Followed a stream of cars other night on M25 one braked hard and the next 2 hit it hard.

Having said that, the bib were probably stopping drivers for doing 31 in a 30 limit somewhere else or charging a group of 4 pensioners on a picnic for having 'dangerous' metal picnic knives in their possession!!!
Rant over!!

Friend of mine was side swiped by a speeding BMW last Sunday which failed to stop. His passenger was able to get the reg of said Beemer. Cheshire police said, "If we can find the driver will you be prepared to just swap details and settle it that way"
UNBELIEVABLE.

i got hit by a hgv some time ago he carried on luckily i rang the police and got the number he denied it but i had a witness. the police said if he comes clean will you just swap details i said yes as i just wanted it sorted, but his company wouldnt let him admit responsibility so they threw the book at him and he lost his liscence, got done for dangerous driving, leaving the scene etc. Police were actually pretty good for a change
