Clearly they see safe drivers as ones who crash. And dangerous ones who dont actually cause any harm or inconvenience to others at all.

I havent found anyone, police or otherwise who can explain that logic to me.
The logic is actually pretty simple. In your case it would be very difficult to establish what the true cause was. It could have been a tired driver, it could have equally been a perfectly capable driver that simply got things wrong as we all do from time to time. It's very difficult to police and enforce offences such as tiredness, although various bodies do want this. The phone one is easy - it's quite obvious whether someone is using a mobile or not.
