police will wait 24 hours to give him a chance to report it, after that it becomes criminal damage

lucky you had witness's

......has likely been paid a visit by my colleagues in uniform.

No, he hasn't.

In about one to two months he'll just get a letter in the post asking him to admit it or deny it, NIP.

I draw your attention to the "colleagues" bit.  I think he may have got a visit in double quick time imo. 

No, you won't get preferential treatment as that peverses the course of justice. Nip in one to two months.

after that it becomes criminal damage

No it doesn't. All that will happen is he'll recieve a nip with charges for not stopping, leaving the scene of an accident.

The speed (or lack of) of any investigation is unlikely to be considered "preferential" and it would in no way "pervert" (I think that’s what you mean ?) the course of justice. Any NIP where issued would almost always be issued within 14 days and no charges would be laid until the identity of the driver had been supplied or established as part of any ongoing investigation into or in relation to any alleged offence !

To the OP, I hope it all works out O.K

Made, not laid. The charges they'd be looking to prosecute for are lined out in the NIP.

"Laid" is in relation to the laying of information in relation to an offnece. The laying of information ensuring the accused's presence before a magistrates' court resulting from an arrest warrant or a summons !

There is a difference between "intent to prosecute" and being "charged with" and "prosecuted for or in relation to" !

[Ant1981]

There is a difference between "intent to prosecute" and being "charged with" and "prosecuted for or in relation to" !

Yes, we all know that. Hence it's called a NIP, notice of intended prosecution.
