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

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 -
police asked me to contact the insurance agency to tell them...they issued me contact detail for other driver and their insurance...0

how long does it take before police notice is received? if one issued..they had dash which should opt out if there was an obstruction in from of them...
wishing to harm someone and actually causing harm to someone should be treated differently ...rather someone was at front and braking distance was not maintained...0 -
