About a month ago I mentioned on someone else's thread that I too got an in car video recorder that records everything. I also mentioned that I witnessed a hit & run where the car in front of me side swiped a parked car causing bodywork damage to the wings & then simply just kept going.
Anyway, at the time I turned back and found the owner of the parked car, proudly pointing out that I had caught the incident on video. He was so pleased. He reported it to thepolice and the driver was contacted. On discovering there was video evidence, her insurance company immediately paid out plus a courtesy car. However, the police decided not to pursue the driver for failing to stop!
The victim (owner of the parked car) was shocked and has had to make a lot of noise about it and only now have the police, somewhat reluctantly it appears, decided to ask me for a copy of the video so they can see it!
The video clearly shows both cars ricochet off each other plus the registration of the offending car. I just surprised that with such a clear cut case they're not interested yet in the same town they are happy to stand around all day pointing radar guns at everyone.
