Well between my shifts and the officers shifts we have yet to have a chat but I did call him and leave a voicemail tonight telling him to Pursue for leaving the scene and told him when I am free to chat so imagine I will hear more soon.

Well seems the driver of the tractor likes the idea of a few hundred to make it all go away. However he hasn't the cash. He is going to try sort something with the overall farm owner who he works to

So
Back to playing hard ball. Overall farm owner has told the driver of offending vehicle to no longer chat to police or me. And that I need to go through insurance if I want to take it further.

Tit. Considering about 300 quid would be all I am after.

p***ks like him about it's no surprise people develop sore necks to put the arm in

Have told police to follow up leaving scene of accident anyway in that case.

Would Crash or one of those places take it on ? That should really screw them over.

I used Crash when a 15 year old tractor driver drove into me a few years ago. I can't recall if they managed to get the £ from the farms insurance or the MIB, but either way my premium wasn't affected.

Fair enough, you gave him an easy option and he wants to (imo) dissuade you from proceeding by involving Insurance companies - see this one through there are plenty who wouldn't be bothered with the hassle.
Some of my family are in farming and they are a stubborn bunch at times, 1 track mind of livestock, machinery and land - anything else is not their problem

They sorted me out when the mini stoved into the Fiesta. I tied to sort the accident out myself but the other insurance were dragging their heals. An hour after talking to them the Fiesta was booked into the bodyshop, and a wee hire car sitting on the drive.

Another vote for Crash services here.
A few years back a guy shunted Mrs Cyril's passat in a traffic queue, agreed to pay then when given the bill made up a story that she had reversed into his car.
Insurance was no help, wanted a 50/50 split.
Crash took it on, were prepared to go to court, the guy decided he didn't want to tell the judge his lies and caved in.
Hope you get it sorted.

Well I'm hoping a we bit of legal pressure might make the farmer decide to pay

Crash solicitor today didn't sound to positive though. Just with no witnesses and no damage to that side of my vehicle really. She is going to talk to the officer that came to the scene to try get a feel for it and possibly see if he can add any strength to the case.

It's not worth a pile. But it's one them things why should he get away with it

Would he rather I didn't move and maybe end up responsible for a fatality. If it was perhaps a older woman with no road savvy they may not have got out of the way.

to many people get away with things they shouldn't get away with. I suggest hiring some clown go burn out his farm

EDIT: this clearly means you're better off crashing into a vehicle instead of trying to avoid it

Funny to think the police officer still has not managed to get a statement off me. Must be now 6 times failed to meet me. To get a statement to pursue for leaving the scene. Poor performance. I know they are under pressure though

no harm but that would **** me right off, if he's arranging a time/place , like in any job you fcking show up, ok you might be late/have to reschedule now and again but 6times is a piss take.

Constantly arranges to pop in. Never happens. Always seems to be something came up. Even there he said he will def be around on Wednesday evening between 5 and 7. Nout. And no call either. I expect another 'date' soon were I will be standing waiting.

Not just land to the station? surely any officer could take it and pass it on if he's extracting the Michael!?
I'd even be tempted to ask for his direct reports number to talk to him about scheduling something in.
