Do a check on http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ to see if he is insured, click on Vehicle Enquiry .

With bikes I think it's a bad idea to even consider not getting insurance involved. Car/van drivers have no idea how much little things cost to fix on a bike/how much damage they may have caused, and although they may start off saying they'll sort it without involving insurance, once they see the bill they'll usually balk, and then it's 2 months down the line.

Had similar thing to this just before Xmas and the bike was written off. It was still rideable but they figured the damage that was there was worth paying out on, plus clothing, etc. and it's only when nobbers like that get busted on their insurance that they start paying a bit more attention to the road and other users - from the sound of it, if he'd not hit you he would have maimed the pedestrian, so the more done to put him off being on the the road, the better.

Glad you're ok and hope everything gets sorted speedily!

Others have nailed the technicalities for you, so nothing to add really other than glad you're OK and hope that the bike isn't too seriously damaged.

Pedestrian sounds like a bit of a numpty, or a very lazy person who thought "If I keep on walking I'll not have any hassle with statements etc".
Selfish, lazy people like that really get my goat...

... or would if I had a goat.
