accident advice

[count duckula]

At the junction of A404 and M40 (junction 4), I was in lane 2 of 4, which is correct for A4010, person on RHS of me ( lane 3 )decided they want to take the M40 (oxford exit) so they were 2 lanes out of place and decided to drive into me, only a crease to the back door. I carried on off the roundabout and stopped ( he was behind me ), he did not take my exit and continued round the roundabout and took the M40 exit he wanted and drove off, I chased after him and after much flashing he pulled over.
He is now claiming I hit him, I have left a call for him to discuss, can I report him for driving off ?
Any ideas of lightly outcome ?

I would report a hit and run and failing to report an accident.

Your word against his, but if you allegedly hit him, why wouldn't have stopped????

PS He might not have insurance, tax etc. so report it.

Not sure who to report him too, or if the fact I caught up with him covers it, I checked with the insucance compnay and he has insurance.

I'd expect that since the crease is in your back door you have a good chance of beating a 50:50 claim. Assume you have reported it to Bibs.

Also check if his insurance started before or after time of accident, takes a couple of minutes on a mobile to arrange insurance these days.

If all the parties involved in an RTA are insured with the same company would said company be more likely to do a 50:50?

[count duckula]

the bib were not intrested as I got the details from him ( even though I had to chase him down the motorway ), fingers crossed he does not do it again to other people.

Now this is where certain older British Colonies have taken UK law and made it better --get hit in some African ex UK colonies --report it to police ,get no joy and police investigate ,and sometimes prosecute- all they need is reg no.
