under the data protection act and police code of practice they are not allowed to give members of public other motorists details as its a civil matter and not a criminal one unless alcohol/drugs or criminal intent are evident.

and even then they wouldn't be likely to hand over details because of possible revenge attacks on "innocent until proven guilty" members of the public they have a duty of care to serve and protect.

Leaving the scene of an accident and not reporting it is a crime, whether injury is involved or not.
An accident can be criminal damage to property or person.

So sadly your wrong, in this instance.

As far as we were concerned, they had left the scene of the accident, left no details and they had not reported it to the Police either, because the Police checked.
