Listen mate - it sounds to me like you are up against a heavy dude - (sherif of somewhere ? Yawn!).
He will be well briefed in court stuff and I guess you are not?
My advise would be to employ a brief to defend you in court. Your employer - (the bus company) - if they are any good - should be prepared to support you with this.
saxo, get a solicitor, your bus co or their insurers will do this 'cos there will be a claim against them.
if he didn't swap details with you at the bus depot then maybe he had something to hide???
then get someone to show you how to use 'spell check', it makes it easier for us to read.
