Sadly, you cannot file a complain because:
1- Police handles crimes, not stupidy. You have to proove there was a criminal intent.
2- From number 1: You have to proove the event. If the car didn't actually hit you, you got no proof.
Strange. A number of years back, when I was at University, I nearly got hit while crossing on a crossing. I did get the number plate, and after I failed to stop shaking for aboput 30mins, I rang the police who were more than helpful, got me to come in and make a statment and took all the details, including a sketch of the area. About 2 months later I got a very nice letter saying that they had tracked down the driver and spoken to her, that she was highly apologetic and realised the dangers of crossings, and was going to treat them with more care in the future, that they had given her a warning and that if I was happy with the result and didn't want to take it further they'd consider the matter closed.
I guess police forces in different countries deal with things differently huh.
