I'd probably do the same thing, uber.
All i'm saying is that prior and/or ensuing notions of moral superiority concerning calling the cops are misplaced. This isn't csi or law and order. There are a lot of cops who can be complete pieces of shit. Calling the cops in the wrong circumstances can make things worse for the wrong people.
For instance, in my city, 7 times out of 10 (anecdotally speaking), when the police are involved in a situation concerning a bicyclist and a motorist, regardless of the details, the motorist comes out on top in terms of legal sanctions. Unless there are serious injuries or you are particularly sympathetic to inattentive drivers, you might want to avoid involving the cops.
