Recovery vehicle pulled across to do U-turn and I went into the side of him. Happened so quickly but according to witnesses he was on his mobile, which explains why he didnt see my flashing lights.
I've approached solicitor's and it doesnt seem to be an issue, for now. From reading, apparently one brake is sufficient and the fixed cog is classed as one...
Only happened last month so will probably be a while before any conclusion is reached.
EDIT: He also drove over the bike twice after the collosion lol :(

Oh man...just to make sure it's dead? :/

Actually you're half right, with a fixed wheel transmission, you only need to add a front brake to make it legal.
Driver sound like a complete fuckplank, get them to pony up for a new bike but make sure not to mention the lack of front brake.

enter code hereSounds like a cunt and also sounds like your bike is fucked beyond making safe.
I'd quote for a custom frame at a frame builder local to you made from the same or equivalent tubing, then probably replace every part too...
