I agree - there is a lot of confusion with what cyclists should do following an accident.
Although it does not always seem practical at the time, you should always call the police to the scene in the case of an accident, whether you are injured or not.
Cyclists seem to think of themselves as having less rights than other road users and often leave the scene of an accident without taking the other driver's details. My advice is that it is best to think what you would do if you were a car driver. For instance, if your car got stolen or broken into you would call the police to the scene. Or if your car got damaged in an accident you would take down the other person's details and get the police involved. Do the same if you are a cyclist.
