If you can bring yourself to do it, you might consider submitting an account of this hit-and-run to the all-party parliamentary group, who are conducting an inquiry into "Cycling and the Justice System" - https://allpartycycling.org/inquiries/justice/

Deadline for submissions is January 16.

These are some of the issues that could be investigated:

Should there be greater priority of traffic law enforcement and’ road crime’ for all police forces?
Should police forces enforce 20mph speed limits, and speed reduction?
Should there be a revision of careless and dangerous driving charging standards
Should the ‘presumed liability’ civil compensation system be introduced?
Do police investigation, criminal prosecution, sentencing and inquests need reviewing?
How are prosecutors trained on the distinction between “careless” and “dangerous” driving?
Should there be more use of lengthy driving bans and resisting hardship pleas by the courts?
Should the DfT, Home Office and MOJ collaborate on collision and conviction data?
Should the Police and CPS be required to report on how they deal with road collisions?
Should there be a National Standards on collision investigation?
Should road crash victims be covered by the Victims’ Code?
Does the Highway Code need updating to reflect an increased duty of care on drivers?
Should there be a clearer definition of what is the standard of the competent and careful driver?
Should police forces/the CPS release the collision report when complete, and prior to conclusion of the criminal process?
