I take it you have never rung the police before, they generally aren't going to keep you on the line with an RTC, they will get the information off you that are required and then be done. No need to talk about the weather etc.. that is what the responding police units will do.
If you specify no injury, as it's aggravated anyway by car v bike, they'd send someone IF someone was available - and that does tend to be a big IF nowadays. If they can't find anyone they'll either ask you to come in, make an appointment over the phone, or take details over the phone dependant on policy.
All of the above is in the given example of a non injury RTC where the Road Traffic Act has been complied with by all parties.
If you ring and report an injury RTC, they will find a unit from somewhere to attend you and can't just take details, unless there are some really extenuating circumstances (other units tied up with jobs they really can't leave, robberies, murders etc)
