Just wondering what experiences injured cyclists have had in dealing with the authorities after RTAs?

Would a garda on bicycle who is involved in a collision with a motor propelled vehicle not be treated just the same as an ordinary member of the public who is involved in a collision?

from looking at the varied responses on this thread where the attitude of the attending gardai ranged from very professional and poractive to as helpful as a handbrake on an canoe it cant not be taken as red.
