Good to here you are Safe.... for the Biker -- If he was paying for damages --- than why sending him to jail ???? they will loot more money which he suppose to pay you.
I myself mostly go around on bike, but completely following all the rules.
As I always ware
-- Helmet
-- Gloves
-- Upper/Jacket
and make sure that the side mirrors and all turning signals and break light is in order.
IMO: Sending him to jail was not a good thing .
