To cut a long story short, back in February I was caught up in an incident on the M4. The driver of the Citroen had the roof cut off her car to get her out but she had no injuries.

Wow, you were very lucky there. I can't beleive your insurance co was going to blame you, if they can't prove you weren't involved they also can't prove you were and should have at least argued the case.

Dash cam footage can of course incriminate you should you be at fault in an incident. |

Wow! Once the insurance company saw that video footage they couldn't possibly pursue you for anything. Citroen driver 100% at fault and caused the accident it would appear from lack of concentration. I'd be after the citroen's insurance company for trying blame you for the accident!

Sad to see so many people that saw it happen just drive off. I would at least stop to see if I can help out.

I have just ordered one off amazon, to see how I get on with it. Will have to work out how to fit it permanently as I too don't want cables dangling. Thinking the idea of a fuse doubler into the glove box fuse board of the cable is long enough is a good one.

Glad the cam helped prove that it looks like she was driving like a maniac, not paying attention, hit the brakes, lost control and was all her own fault. Very nasty to try and blame it on someone else. Such a pity that you couldn't avoid hitting her at all, that would have made your life much easier.
