HATO's at shunt

[Collectingbrass]

I was involved in a shunt on the M1 on Saturday to which two v nice HATO officers attended thanks guys

My only query is that other than ensuring we had exchanged details they did no paperwork at the scene. Is this SOP, surely this is 21st Century Britain and you'd think there'd be forms in triplicate to do? Hope I haven't dropped them in it now...

Nope, it's one of the perks of the job!
If there's no injury (or something dodgy is suspected like drunk driving), no Police are involved (now, they do a bit of paperwork) and the parties exchange details and leave, or a tow truck is arranged.
The vehicle details will be logged at the Control Centre via radio.

The idea is we get everyone moving again ASAP.

Stop sniggering Towie.........
