Long story short Basically i didn’t want to pursue it because of the significant impact it would have on myself and family.
Give a statement, turn up in court and tell them what happened. There's some impact on you (by doing the right thing), but not sure of the impact on your family
I understand what you mean about the impact. My episode caused quite a bit of stress to me and my wife from the uncertainty. We worried about me meeting the same driver again. It was all right in the end though.
Stay safe...

What's that phrase about for evil to triumph....

"What you gonna do, end up in court again?"
Different kettle of whelks if you're dealing with a career criminal who sees doing a bit of time as an occupational hazard, but your average gammon in a Landie isn't going to want to go through all that rigmarole again and now knows full well that you'll nail him to the mast if he tries playing silly buggers.
After my school days practically leaving me with PTSD I've grown up with a zero tolerance policy for bullies, I'd would take any and every opportunity to push back hard rather than roll over for aggressive arrogant pricks like that. Frankly I'd rather receive a kicking than let the ****ers win.
Prosecute.
Just over a year ago I met this delightful chap. I think he gets the option to retake his test in 5 more months.
Beyond the video and statement I had no involvement until the police wrote me a letter to tell me of the conviction.
