A few years ago my then-girlfriend was hit by a car that raced a red crossing Upper Street. It was 1.30 am, on New Years Day - three of us were walking back from a New Years Eve party. Luckily, she was only badly bruised...
I got the plate of the car, and one of the witnesses was an off-duty police woman walking back from her shift.
We were taken to hospital by an un-marked police car (it happenend to be the first on the scene). We gave statements in A and E.
And we never heard anything ever again. A couple of phone calls to the Police got fobbed off... and that was that.
So, it isn't just cyclists... When it comes to peds, the police are as incompetent.
