No camera involved unfortunately.And this is about the time I would produce the video I would have of the incident, the Police are not too keen on being lied to.

They'll not be open at this time!!Cheers for the heads up. Either way, justice prevails, hopefully.
Going to let Leigh Day make that call for me, when I get 2 mins to call them.
I don’t know the gentleman’s name and I have no idea when this will go to Court, unless I am called upon.
Is there any way that I can find out when this is going to Court @Drago?
Ok, thanks for letting me know.If he's been charged the OIC should be able to tell you the Court date.

To be fair, the PC did advise that they wouldn’t be involved from here on, although they kindly said that I could email or call them if I was unsure if anything. I won’t be bothering them any further, aside from checking about the court date if I don’t hear anything.Trans: officer in charge.
As a general point, the further it gets into the court process, the less the officer will know as it's largely taken out of his hands so he can concentrate on front line police work.
I get the impression there is a disparity in your accounts, so it looks like it will be a trial.
That being the case, you will be called to give evidence, so the CPS/witness care team should ensure you know which date to turn up, and which building you need to turn up to.
As he's not insured make sure they knock the cars owner off for "use, cause or permit". It'll make her think twice about letting the chump use the car. If she tries to cover her own arris by saying he took it without her knowledge/permission, then make sure the Feds knock him off for TWOC instead.
Now you've established he has no insurance get yourself onto this, pronto, and get your claim in.

At least there's hope there.Ok, thanks for letting me know.
I will give the PC time to put the paperwork in order and then email them in a few weeks time to see if they have a date. Aside from logging the charge for a court date, I don’t see this progressing before Christmas, so there’s absolutely no point in bothering the PC unduly.
Absolutely. Far more positive than I was during the early stages of this thread.At least there's hope there.
Brief update on what’s happened since.
Lots of random delays that I won’t go into here. Not pointing blame at individuals, but at the lack of available resource.
The driver has yet to be spoken to. He was scheduled to give a statement Monday just gone, but it was put on hold as one of the witnesses came forward to give s statement.
PC said that this changes everything and they now believe that they can get a solid conviction based on my statement and that if the witness being so close. They were surprised how detailed the witness statement was after 4 months. I declined to say it wouldn’t have been so surprising if this statement had been taken 4 months ago.
They are going to give the guy one chance to attend a proper interview next week, otherwise he will be arrested.
Hopefully this will help with my insurance claim via Leigh Day, who have been amazing throughout, despite being hampered by the lack of urgency shown above.
