Yes it should be reported as per the Road Traffic Act. Take your D/L insurance and MOT(if you need one) with you, fill in da form takes about 15 minutes depeding on how busy is it and wheter the guy behind is slow.

I'm surprised you're even asking the question. I would have called the police there and then, someone has (as far as you're concerned) attempted to cause you harm with their motor-vehicle. It's not even driving without due care etc.

"I thought filtering was illegal so I thought I'd go down the vigilante route". 'kin hell, that makes it even worse!
Don't believe a word of his excuses either imo.

Call the police.

Aye, report it. Without any witnesses the old bill won't go anywhere with it but you reporting it covers you. You don't want the old bill knocking on your door with a BS report from the van driver saying you caused an accident and took off without reporting it.

that happened to me once.

A white van went through a red light at a junction, just skimmed me but knocked me down and just drove off.

I was ok and wasnt going to claim as no real damage so I didnt report it. Only to get a court summons afew weeks later after a member of the public took my number plate and reported me

I wrote a letter explaining what had happened and it was dropped, but we can all live without extra stress

report it, he ran into you when you were stationary. Sue his ass off and get him off the road. I imagine theres a bit of damage to your bike and clothing. Hope your ankle is ok and not too much neck strain
