Police do not have to write a report unless someone is injured. That's why they ask you several times if your ok. If you are then they don't need to do anything. Asking as cars arnt blocking the road they will leave you to it.

My cousins a copper and I had this problem when I had a smash with a landrover. I wish I said I had whiplash, backache headache and erectile disfunction as honesty gets you nowhere anymore!!

 

[Kyle87]

Meant aslong as cars*

The bizzies don't need to get involved with a traffic accident unless their assisstance is requested by one of those involved or there's damage to public property - such as a lampost.

yes but his actions were purposeful,he should have been done

As long as both parties have exchanged details they won't intervene. They won't even let you report an accident. I went down to the Police Station after some bint reversed into my car, went to report it because I didn't trust her and was worried she was uninsured. Was told by the WPC on the desk that it was nothing to do with them.

 

[Keefy]

I got a note asking for local residents to come forward with information about guns and gangs pushed through my front door yesterday by a policeman with a sniffer dog. I told him to stop posting junk mail through my door and he said "sorry, I'm only doing what I'm told to do" so I told him never to post crap through my door again and he said "Okay".

^ True by the way, can't stand the corrupt filth, but the moral of the story is they shouldn't interfere with the populous unless requested to do so.

the bizzies don't get involved with accidents as it might mean doing a bit of paperwork they'd rather sit on their arses on a motorway roundabout and stop the occasional speeder easy pull and they can justify their wages because as we all know speeding is worse than terrorism!

Do you know the true story why they're called bizzies?

 

[plumber0808]

They probably had a rush on to get back and do some paperwork.

fair play though for stopping and helping her. :hurray:

I agree, props to you for daring to have a concern in the world, one of a few out there these days.

They're too busy chasing their claims for tripping over kerbs.

Honestly - good on you for reporting it but where's the "service to the public" gone?

Police tend to get terrorised round here really ! And seen some funny ones to be fair ! Just feel sorry when a policeman is gettin terrorised by a 8 year old on a bike

For some reason, I totally believe you.

 

[Howsie]

yes but his actions were purposeful,he should have been done

But not their job.

 

[REDSAW]

think its become a civil matter.

if the woman complains about the driver then he will get an appointment with them.

i did that once lol.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

i dont get it how is driving into another car on purpose,backed up by witnesses a civil matter?

 

[REDSAW]

no one got hurt and no public damage..
left to sort out by personal insurance unless some one complains of dangerous driving!!!!

 

[Kyle87]

Good old punch in the face is the way to deal with it. Cops will be on ya like a rash then though

 

[on31ll]

Ha ha working doors i had to give statement about this fight broke out ! First think he said to me when i walked into interview was "did you hit any of them ?" I replied yer i did ! He just said "thats fine we will leave those bits out, i prefer it when you lads sort it out and give them a slap and i just come and scoop them off the pavement" thats an old school police officer their !

you get a bill in the post for damaging those few weeks later

 

[stevetheplumber]

we had 3 boilers and bathrooms nicked of a job a hundred yards from croyden nick so walked in to report it and the copper on the desk asked us what we expected him to do about it ?

 

[SimonG]

This all reminds me of the joke/story of the little old lady who phones the cops to say somebody is in the shed/garage and is told they'll get somebody there in a couple of hours. She hangs up and says it alright now as she'd shot them. In two minutes the cops were there 🙂 🙂

 

[dontknowitall]

One of my favourites, Simon!

Not many of them about mate!

 

[on31ll]

Nah i love them when they deal with stuff the old way ! Where the person in the wrong is noted ! Not your both nicked for assault !

I knew 3 lads who died after their car hit a lampost and the driver's mother got the bill from the council a few weeks later. Not sure what the deal was with it as it wasn't her who did the damage.

 

[SimonG]

One of my mates is an ex copper, did his 30 years and now works for the ambulances on patient transfer. Says that years ago he loved his job but couldn't wait to get out at the end. He said the job was unrecognisable, too much paperwork.

My brother-in-law has just spent a few million on new ambulances (£170,000 each) for the firm he's with. He says the paramedic/ambulance driver courses they run only take a few days and open to anyone. I didn't realise the ambulance service was outsourced/private.
Only had a short conversation with him about it so not clear with the full details.

I don't really know all the ins and outs, but he's employed by the same company that employ the paramedics. He says that they get all the dross as the outsourced/private companies do all the good runs. But he enjoys it.

Sounds like a good job. Just checked his Linkedin profile but he hasn't updated it with his latest position but it's an American firm.

 

[SimonG]

He's only contracted for 30 hours a week to top up his police pension, but often works 40 to 50 hours a week.

Does he do that overtime voluntarily or is it forced on him?

 

[on31ll]

Paramedics are just first aiders and drivers ! You might get one technician onboard like

My father in law was a paramedic for 30 years there a hell of a lot more than that very highly skilled and re do exams every 3 years witch takes weeks of study
What do you call a technician
Ambulance over here has a driver and a paramedic
Older paramedics are highly skilled with gunshot wounds and massive trauma blunt and penetration from shrapnel

 

[on31ll]

Well here there not really trained to much ! Thats why when they move patients from hospital to hospital or planned moves they have to take a nurse with them ! Dont get me wrong i respect anyone that does it ! And im sure their is training in it ! But i posted a story of a lad nearly bleeding to death a few weeks ago he was seen by an ambulance then let go ! Made it round the corner and was nearly on his arse ! He was close to dying !

He's their go to man when there's overtime. It's rare he turns them down, but then he's divorced and says if he's earning he's not spending 🙂
