Witness to an Accident

Yesterday I witnessed an accident. A shiny, silver fourwheel drive ute hit a pedestrian at the crossing. At impact the guy was hurled into the air and hit the bitumen hard. The driver got out of the car, asked him if he was ok and checked if there was any damage to his front.
It was at a busy intersection and I sat in second row but still in full view of the incident. The lights changed and all drove on except for me. I watched as the driver patronisingly offered to drive the victim home, calling him 'mate' and making light of the whole thing.
The pedestrian did cross at a red light. Two lanes of traffic had stopped at Corrimal's Railway Street/Northern Distributor intersection and there was a break in the traffic turning East, but the driver of the 4WD ute tried to quickly make it across the line and accellerated before breaking hard and hitting the pedestrian.
I made sure that the driver was aware that he was being observed and I wrote down his number plate. As they drove off the driver leant out of the window and patronisingly reassured me: "he seems to be alright". "Well, I don't think so!"
He dropped his guard and looked like he was going to jump out and pounce...quite threatening!
When I drove to the police station to report what I had seen, the person at the desk kept jumping to conclusions...

"I'd like to report an accident."
"You don't have to do that anymore, you know! Unless someone got hurt that is."

"Yes, that's why I'm here. Someone got hurt."
"We did not get a call about that...and the vehicle has to be towed?"

"No. He hit the pedestrian and then loaded him into the car and drove him home."
"Ah, that's kind of the fellow, I suppose." (Yeah..that's exactely the spin that he was after...and he certainly would have threatened him with the cost of possible panelbeating on his way home...since ya were crossin' at a red light, mate!)

Well, I did not think that's exactely what should have happened...He may have been intoxicated...
Do you have the number plate? What kind of vehicle? Etc. It all got scribbled on a bit of waste paper and she said she'd pass it on to a police officer and if they have time they'll look into it....yes sure...and I am the tooth fairy ...

Wow! What a waste of my time that was!
The driver got away with it and the poor bugger will most certainly be sore for weeks to come.

Really, what was most disturbing was that I felt that there were at least twelve vehicles sitting at that intersection and I was the only person stopping. What is wrong with you people?!
