So whilst you are awaiting for an ambulance in this traffic choked city

how you get the charging process to stop as to lie on a trolly (there
are no beds available) in a corridor in the nearest A&E? CJB.

Doesn't matter. With the small bit of good luck that you clearly hadn't
used that day a passer by or CCTV camera will catch the number plate of
the vehicle that hit you and you will claim against their insurance.

The official line is if you are in an accident you should telephone the
Contact Centre although it isn't clear what they do next.

If it turns out the accident was your fault because you rode through a
red light on the pavement while swigging from a bottle of vodka, making
a call on your mobile phone, wearing sunglasses at night and crossed the
solid white line in the middle of the road

You've met Colin, i see.

I imagine the procedure will be comparable to that used for Oyster when
you get evacuated from a station or some such - you call the helpline or
fill in a form, and get refunded.
