Pop along to your loc\l magistrates court and tell the very nice person at the help desk that you want to raise a summons for:
S3 Road Traffic Act 1991: Driving without due care and attention.
S25 RTA 91: Failing to stop ( and exchange details) following an RTA.
It will cost you around £30 you will have to stand up in front of a bench of crusty old gits and tell them exactly what happened.
If they are satisfied an offence has been committed they will issue a summons. Post it to the twat in the BM by recorded delivery and wait.
If he replys then you may be granted a hearing. In which case turn up at court an hour earky on the set date with witnesses evidence etc and ask to talk to the duty solicitor. He/she will then do the talking for you and you becomevictim/complainant.
If you really want to screw the git. At the same time take out a county court action (basically the same method, but at your local county court) for damages, loss of earnings etc. Have evidence, say your bit and if satisfied they will issue a CCJ. He has 2 weeks to enter a defence or you win by default.Then the balifs are sent in to collect if he doesn't pay.
Before doing this talk to your local citizens advice about any local paperwork difference.
