You have reported it to the police and your insurers. There is nothing else you can do except wait.0

I'm not sure what advice anyone can give. You've already done everything you can do. If the witnesses corroborate your story you may not be held at fault. If they don't, you will likely be considered to be to blame.0

??? It was a minor collision. Unless the car is not legal or safe to drive (eg. Lights broken) then why shouldn't it be driven?i saw the same vehicle on the road the next day...being driven as anything..0 -

You dont get points for an accident unless the police prosecute you for driving without due care and attention.
Despite what you may think, the other driver could claim a dog/cat/child ran out in front of them. Almost always when you hit the back of a vehicle in front, it is your fault for not keeping a safe distance.
Have the police said they are going to prosecute you? If not, no points. Your insurance & no claims is another matter.Signature on holiday for two weeks0 -
