What to do in the case of an accident (discussion)

That junction's covered in covert and non covert CCTV, so there should be some evidence of it somewhere...? Oliver, can you clarify when the police report has to be made - is it too late to do it now?

As far as I know, the police have to accept reports even if it's very late, although obviously the sooner the better. But I don't know for sure. If anyone is a police officer or lawyer and knows better, please post.

Don't put your hopes up high about CCTV. I think unless it's a fairly new camera, the chances of reading the numberplate of a fast-moving vehicle are very low. Also, most CCTV footage gets deleted fairly quickly, so it may well not exist any more.
