Received the following email from Hugh DAVENPORT:

Hi Ashleigh,

I spoke with the cyclist last night. He said something I found interesting, and I hope that the Police take
on board around complaints in the future. Basically cyclists tend to not bother report any incident, as
Released
the Police tend to just not do anything. I thought I did the right thing by reporting it as a witness, but it
seems that NZ Police's policy on witness reports is to ignore it until pressured. Hopefully that changes
in future...
