Its decision time.

My legal team must have contacted the person who replied to my FaceBook appeal, they sent the positive report from the witness to the drivers insurance, they have subsequently made me an offer, which is to my satisfaction, so hopefully it will soon be brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
What left a nasty taste was the driver trying to blame me, he should have just owned up to his mistake.

Had the same when hit by a car being driven onto the road I was on. The driver insisting on the night it was all my fault, they'd done nothing wrong even though they'd collected a fair sized dent in the bonnet.

Interesting discussion! Had a similar personal decision a few years ago now - spent a long time mulling over every aspect of the accident, recovery, and ‘where to go from here’?
it wasn’t cycling, but paragliding, which I had been doing for many years - I had a catastrophic accident where the prognosis on hospital admission was given, of no chance of survival!
Did survive, and pretty much recover, and five years later started flying again with all new kit and my head ‘sorted out’.
In this sort of situation it really is down to the individual to work their way through it in their own mind whatever, or despite what anyone else says.

Glad you recovered and made the decision to resume, I had a mate who was into hang gliding, he was the sort of lad who never had much cash but was very practical at utilising old gear etc, he went to live in South Africa and due to earning more money bought himself a brand new hang glider, the first time he used it, it collapsed and he didn't survive.

Paragliding - I get wobbly on a 3 step, step ladder me...

TBH, its far safer than road cycling or MTB. Those all pale into insignificance if you are a commuter cyclist. I commute to stay fit, it's very risky..... all my big injuries have come from it.

Some evidence for this remarkable assertion would be welcome.
