Quick question if I may.
Someone reversed into my motorbike and we were both at the scene. The gentleman admitted fault but asked to not go through insurance as he would rather pay for the repairs privately. I agreed as I was in a rush at the time and the damage looked less severe than it turned out to be. He is now doing a u-turn and refuses to engage in conversation or admit liability. What are my options?
Thank you in advance.!

NEVER agree to such arrangements ...Someone reversed into my motorbike and we were both at the scene. The gentleman admitted fault but asked to not go through insurance as he would rather pay for the repairs privately.
At least, require a written confession of liability if you do agree to this scheme.
No written admittance of liability + not going thru insurance, virtually always leads to the following
Report the accident to the police and to your insuranceHe is now doing a u-turn and refuses to engage in conversation or admit liability. What are my options?
If you can somehow prove he reversed into you
If you can't prove that, you might end up being seen as having caused the accident yourself
In that case, you might NOT want to report it ...
