hey dw about it.
do what the officer said.
file a police report and then take it to a panel beater and get a quote.
send it to his insurance and dont delete the sms'. dont be abusive or anything.
then take it to court and his insurance company will have to pay ur legal fees and damage done to ur car.
usually the insurance company is smart and will pay u out.
dont stop. keep ringing ur insurance company. they should help u.
gl man!
