Morning.
I believe s172 RTA 1988 applies.
Though I'm sure the legal eagles will correct me if I'm wrong, but:If there is no injury or damage then the driver is not obliged to give details.
Incidentally, this section refers to a mechanically propelled vehicle, so it would seem that cyclists have no obligation to give details at all.Or am I reading it wrong?

A car made forceful contact with my back wheel at lunch today at the beginning of coldharbour lane... the driver said she was sorry but because me and my bike appeared to be OK, she refused to give me her details, I had to put myself in front of her car to reason with her, but she still managed to drive off before i could take her name etc, i took pics of her car though. now I have already been to 2 of the near police stations and the potential waiting time killed me, so I still haven't reported it. Can I do this online or over the phone now? Or do I have to queue up at a station to get a form and fill it out, and queue up again to give it back?
