If it's all on CCTV, then you should take the matter further. Particularly as you hurt your back in the incident. If you don't, and you have problems in the future, you won't be able to prove that it happened at work.

As the imbicile obviously thought that it was harmless fun (what a w****r!), I doubt that you would get anywhere by claiming that he was trying to assault you. But you do have an alternative. If you make a complaint, and he admits what happened, it needn't become a disciplinary matter (unless you want it to!). It can be delt with informally.

More importantly, if you let him get away with it, he will probably do it again to someone else.

Get it into the accident book ASAP.

If it was on a public road it was a traffic accident - any damage to the vehicle or yourself should be reported to your insurers who will make a claim on Royal Mail insurance - pity you don't have any witnesses - but threaten to report it anyway - it may deter him from shunting someone else.

Morons like him should not be let loose behind a wheel. Agree entirely with colleagues suggestions but first and foremost get it reported as an accident. To remind colleagues also - all accidents / incidents are now reported electronically via the Royal Mail ERICA system - Electronic Reporting of Incidents for Collating and Analysis. When the new ERICA system came online all local accident books were to be returned.
