    Won't your car insurance sort this out for you?

    I'm puzzled as to how you identified his car without his reg number in the first place?

    I'm guessing it would have had some level of damage? :confused:

    Yes but if someone damages your car & a witness says it was a cab/taxi, you can't assume the first Skoda/Galaxy/other pop make is the same one that hit yours.

    I was just puzzled as to why the OP started taking pics of that one?

    Have you told YOUR insurance company of this? You would be better telling them this whole tale and letting them sort it out - that's why you pay your premuims after all

    You don't need to worry about the police giving you his name, insurance details or anything else. Just give his reg details to your insurance company and they will do the work for you. It's what you pay them for.

    Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."

    Let your insurance company get him to pay up.
