Exchanging details after incident with cyclist
Comments

That's a point actually. So say there actually was damage to the parked car which we didn't notice at the time, and so didn't leave details for the owner of the car. Is it an offence if the incident is subsequently reported to the police within 24 hours?
I guess in the scenario, the owner of the parked would discover damage, report it to the police, they would investigate and marry up that report with the one I submitted about the collision with the cyclist?
There is no offence if it's reported "as soon as is reasonably practicable, and in any case within 24 hours". Realistically, if you do it within 24 hours the police are unlikely to investigate whether you could reasonably practicably have done it earlier.0 -
Just because he wasn't aware of any damage at the time, it doesn't mean that there wasn't any damage.Silver-Surfer wrote: »No, he hasn't. He's not aware of any damage so nothing to report there.Philip0
