platini; that's what i did, and it's not the first time that i have opted for the 'right' thing to do. but i really wonder how seriously they take it. a long time ago i was a victim of a hit and run at a set of lights, which i reported.(the preceding full stop replaced the coma that seem to confuse a reader as to when i reported the incident in question). 6 months later i got a letter from the police asking if i would take my own legal action against the driver as they did not intend to.
i think the police barely give a sh1t if you end up as road pizza, if your walking and talking after the incident they think you should carry on doing just that-on a pavement-and let them get on with playing cops and robbers.
having dark fantasies about a phantom cyclist who rides round round-abouts all day waiting to be 'wronged' by a motorist so that he can exact a brutal and highly publicised mutilation of the driver with the result that it puts the sh1ts up the all the air heads at the wheels of death machines.
