In the 90s, an 80+ yo gent collided with me after failing to give way.
He left the scene and did not return, as far as I was aware.
I got his plate from a witness and called the police. They went round to the geezer's house and was told that he had returned but I had gone. That was rubbish as I was there quite a long while.
Turned out the bloke had a car insurance policy on a DD and had stopped paying after a month, so they cancelled it.
The police were not willing to proceed with any action as "he's an elderly gent."
I had to write to the DVLA to get his address so I could attempt to get money off him.
I'm hoping when I'm in my 80s, I can ignore the fact that I no longer have a license, go out and have a bit of fun and the police will turn a blind eye.
There's another similar story below.
