• Got clarification on the caution; apparently it's just a legal way of giving a statement involving police vehicles and isn't like being given a normal caution where an offence has occured.

    But because I technically hit the rear portion of the car, they could say I was cycling without due care or something but hopefully that isn't the case.

    Did they tell you that while explaining what the caution was about? Sounds like bullshit said just to scare you off taking it further.

    Tho fair enough if you don't want to take it further yourself, that's entirely up to you.

    This. Standard police response when they fuck up when driving is to start threatening other road users with prosecution in an effort to make them go away quietly. Seen it happen myself twice, once in London, once in Newcastle.
