I ran over a neighbours dog this evening. They saw it happen and were pretty cool about it and told me it wasn't my fault and everything (It ran straight out in front of me, no time to brake and couldn't swerve because of a parked car beside me)

Anyway, my question is do I need to report it to the police? I know that accidents that involve hitting cars or road furniture should be reported. But do accidents that involve pets? esp if the owners are present and aware of the incident?

As a dog can be licensed you must report this to the police. Drop into your local station and they will record the necessary details.

Cheers, I'll try to do that tomorrow or Monday.

Also remember that an accident should be reported as soon as possible and in any case within 24 hours,

99% sure you do have to with dogs.

You no longer need to report dogs to the police.

I worked with a guy called 'Ballroom Baz'. His father-inlaw took his two beloved jack russels for a walk one day, later Baz got back to find his father-inlaw sitting rather sheepish in the living room. When asked where the dogs were he said "on top of yer bin in a black bag". Their leads were tied together and one of the yappie ***** had darted for the road, got creamed by a car which then dragged the other under it! Bwoarrha hahahahaha.

ProperCharlie

why was he called "ballroom baz" though?

V45DSM

He was an amateur ballroom dancer and his Christian name was Barry.

Not because he wore very baggy trousers then?
