On the economics thing- I got side swiped by a car, the police did their standard thing of totally ignoring it.
I wrote to my MP pointing out that a) we were in a period of austerity and b) each RTA costs an estimated ~£62,000 and therefore c) the Police were being financially negligent in not acting to prevent said accident.
The Police re-opened their investigation when the MP insisted that they do so- it never went anywhere as the driver went back to Nigeria before it could do, but it was something.
