Shocking. That must have been scary. Idiots like that need to lose their licence. In the past I have been injured by bad/dangerous drivers and have every sympathy for you. You’ll probably not feel the full (physical) affect until the adrenaline subsides. From my experience in previous collisions and the inept way they were (not) investigated, some things you might consider. Preserve your dash cam footage and back it up to another card or device if you have to part with it. Get your crime report number for your insurers. Incidentally, if you had a passenger and they give their account make sure they get a copy to give to you too. If safe, in daylight go back and see if there are any bits of the Pajero lying close to where it struck your car (badges or trim, lenses etc) I would also take your own photos of the damage to your car in daylight against a metre stick and look for any paint left on your car. Note the height from the ground where your car was damaged to allow comparison with damage on the vehicle that caused it if it is found. If the police do not take any visible paint samples, scrape your own off with a clean blade and put them in a clean envelope. This might be prudent and of help to your insurance claim, if they are interested. Might be worth uploading your footage on to Facebook, some decent local may recognise the culprit’s car. Do you have Gap insurance? Hope you are well. Best...
