Near misses...

I got hit yesterday, i'm ok. had a good witness to the driver agreeing to exchange details but then driving off. reported to the police, got a bike report done.

been told now to wait it out and go through the process of it or call motor insurance bureau, find out drivers insurance company, ring them directly and tell them the situation and that I want to claim for a new bike.

this is useful too to find out if the driver is insured or not:

Update on this:

Turns out the driver was uninsured/not the registered driver, as the car is registered to a male and I was hit by a female (with kids in the back). The MIB (motor insurer's bureau not men in black) told me because details were not obtained from the driver (she drove off) it classes as an 'untraced case' rather than a 'uninsured case' and take a £300 fee if successful, which is most of what I was claiming for. awesome...
