Hi all
I was involved in a collision with a car tonight. Car drives towards me on wrong side of road. I brake, but driver does not stop in time. Car swerves, clips my front wheel then stops before nearly mounting kerb.
I am uninjured, but very very shook up. Driver admitted fault straight away. My front wheel is out of true. Frame to my untrained eye looks straight and I rode home.
I have the drivers details (name, address, phone number). I have reg number and details of the car.
I have the collision on helmet camera.
Should I report this incident to the police? Driver did not seem in full control of car. Driver is keen for me not to make a claim on his insurance and will pay out of pocket. Should I report the accident to his insurers (but say I am not making a claim yet)?
Please help. Right now I feel like I have lost one of my 9 lives. Vike's statement to follow.
