I agree with this. I'm not suggestin that you are neglecting your responsibility here but dont we all have the obligation to follow through with these type of things for the sake of the old lady crossing the street or the kids playing in their estate? Sure, its not the law and the garda made it even more difficult for you but I think its important to do something beyond following the procedures. Quite a lot of people get away with serious crimes because of things being let go. They are then free to do it again and maybe worse. Its not too late either.redbhoy said:Report the Garda for not doing his job. "Id have to round up a load of Romanians for a line up". Aww poor you, Mr.Garda, but is that not your job? That chap who hit you obviously has no respect for the law and no doubt will be driving around again fairly shortly and has it in his power to kill someone.
I think you shouldve pursued the claim also as when the insurance have to start paying out money they'll get onto oour esteemed government to do something about it.

Lesson - it really pays to obey the law.
Really.
Well I agree with this procedure as the Gardai cant decide on the spot who was at fault no matter how obvious the circumstances.deisce said:Thats exactly what happened to the girl I worked with. Her father was knocked down and killed on way to work and the car was found abandoned with drugs in the boot. The owner was an English fellow and he disappeared and wasn't tracked down for 6 years, it wasn't till then that the family got compensation. So when the Guard told me the car had disappeared I didn't fancy my chances. Another point, even though I had my insurance disc I was required to drop down my insurance details to a police station within 11 days. Who was the criminal?
