How mean of the cops - surely the other drivers reversed into you. Bad, careless drivers, who, along with so-called witnesses, had the outstanding gall and temerity to say otherwise, have reversed into me on two occasions happily in heavy very slow traffic. The police were similarly unsympathetic. I now leave a very generous distance at all times between me and the car in front and dither maddenly at junctions until it is clear as far as the eye can see - you just cannot rely on following an honest person.
