Got knocked off a few weeks back, coming down a hill, driver pulled out on me. Luckily just battered and bruised, no damage. Exchanged details etc.
Initially I didn't think to report it to police, but then concluded that actually best to have a record in case they weren't just bruised etc.
police were v helpful, explained as I was injured they have to investigate.
The outcome of which is that the driver will be sent on a course, with a driving assessment at the end to make sure they are fit to drive.
Seemed like a really good outcome for the driver to get some training, a fine etc would of achieved very little.
