Sounds like you want some legal advice. No offence to anyone 'on here' but here is not really a great place to ask.
Backstop, it's not the legal advice side that I was curious about. I'm asking "on here" as this is a forum of city cyclists, to whom this sort of thing is likely to have happened before and they might have some wise words of wisdom.
