Reply #2: Wow, so sorry that cop didn't do his job. [View All]

I was in an accident in DC years ago, and virtually the same thing happened to me. The other guy admitted fault at the accident, and I assumed that the cop would get it all into the report, as he assured me he would.

Well, you guessed it, the report was never even written, and my insurance had to pay for my damage, though we were successfully able to deny the other guy.

I feel like my witness is a karmic payback for my willingness to witness to an accident that happened only a few blocks from the one I was in, just a few months ago. Appears that I cleared up some important questions when I was willing to be interviewed.

The guy who saw my accident could easily have been killed by it, being a pedestrian who was basically right next to it. I guess that gave him a little more incentive than usual!

Anyway, I will always stop to be a witness, no matter how much of a hurry I'm in.
