Police do not seen RTA as priority cases ....unless its a major one and is blocking the road, or there is a serious injury. A young lad wrote our car off on our country lane, and we called the Police, who reluctantly came out. Breathalised my husband .....then the young lad, and off they went. Took no details or anything, said it was not a police matter. My whiplash and bruised face were not life threatening so nothing else for them to do.
Its very unfair of this man to suddenly lose his memory. Surely he had some damage to his car - presumably he did not claim on the insurance, but had it mended at his own cost?
