Criminal conviction for careless driving has been proved to criminal standard of proof -- the DJ was satisfied so that he/she was sure.
Civil liability, requiring only proof on the balance of probabilities, a lower standard, is impossible for him to avoid now. Make sure you've got a lawyer, or use the CTC ones. I don't know anyone who'd turn down a civil claim on a conditional fee arrangement (no win no fee) basis where there's ALREADY been a criminal conviction.
I'd love to hear how you felt about cross-examination!
Above all, glad it went well and justice was done.
