Ok, went to the police station on way to work just now. Got into quite the row with the two guys on the desk.
They asked if I was injured, and I said no. They looked really, really confused as to why I was trying to report being hit by a van if I wasn't injured.
They also gave me form 206 rather than 207 and told me that they wouldn't take any action, it was just for my reference. They criticised me for not reporting it on the scene and said they could have interviewed the driver and taken action if I did. I had flagged down two officers a few hundred yards up the road, who stopped the driver and heard him admit it was his fault, but apparently that's not enough...
I felt myself getting a little shouty so took the form and left. I'll fill itin, but clearly nothing will happen, despite the police being present when the driver admitted fault. Baffling.
