A simple factual report is all that is needed.
Is that actually going to come from someone who was driving past at the time?

The whole opening post / thread is operating under an assumption that the Pilot in Command isn't going to bother to report this... guilty until proven innocent. It would take a brave man to not report this at the risk of his licence, fines, jail, not to mention issues with his insurance company.

What's gained if he is right- everything, most probably at the cost of some more training....
More training? It would be a moderately rare occurence for the ATSB or CASA to request more training for such an event.

It seems that there would be little to be gained by a third-party to report this kind of incident.

I know of an incident where a third-party reported it and got the rego wrong which left an innocent party to defend themselves to prove that they were not involved. The reporter simply needed to pss off and butt out! which is what most of us think should happen here!
