Although they needed help to extricate themselves they weren't much more bruised than I was. Not only did the Northants police bend over backwards to find the person responsible they used the helicopter as well, and the woman is now being prosecuted for reckless endangerment or some such offence all reports and notes taken and filed as you'd (quite rightly) expect.... go figure.
Quite frankly, it beggars belief, and that's putting it mildly!! Have you thought about lodging a complaint to the police. I don't suppose you were able to get any of the police officers names or numbers, probably not in a fit state. Not that it would do any good, I suppose they just can't be bothered with more paper work!!!
Bet if they'd caught you speeding, even a little it would be different!!!
All the best,
Martyn
