Thanks Multi Grooves, But believe me, it was a very nerve wrecking experience in the court house. The driver concerned felt they were the victim as I had sworn at them but didn't occur that they could have put me in a wheel chair. I still feel to this very day a great sense of justice as oppose to some personal victory... Sounds strange but when you are in court standing on that podium 'The whole truth and nothing but the truth...' matter of principal regarding right and wrong simply came first. The driver didn't wish to admission of guilt through dangerous and selfish driving, and then furthermore, driving off thinking they were going to get away with it. Therefore it ended up in court...
In reflection, I really don't know what goes through the mind of some people when they are on the road with no consideration for others.
Anyway, hit and run is an awful experience if the cyclist is perfectly innocent and glad that roboto is ok.
