My friend was involved in an accident on Friday night and is unsure about how to proceed. She was hit on the drivers side by a car that broke a red light, and then reversed and drove away. Another car at the junction saw the incident and followed the offenders to get the reg. It was a Northern registered car and they managed to get the make, colour and three letters and one digit of number plate. Gardai were called to the scene and took details but said they didn't hold out hope of tracing the car. Thankfully she is not physically hurt.
My friend is now considering paying for the damage to her car herself (€1500+) as she does not have no claims protection. Some questions...
1) Should the Gardai be contacting the PSNI to trace the Northern reg car?
2) If my friend reports incident to her own insurance company, are they likely to pursue the offenders?
3) Does the MIBI have any role here?
