He's looking for feedback so that he can be secure in his judgement or look to reconsider.
Depends what he did and whether or not you feel you can trust him.
E.g. would he do this again or wouldn't he?
A true friend is someone you can depend on when you need help, and who won't take advantage of you when the opportunity arises.

Ahhhh I see what you mean.
Ok here goes.
I had my car accident in November which my "friend" was a passenger, I was driving, I wrote the car off completely and we both walked away from it.
A week or so after the crash he developed back problems, and had to be signed off work for 3 weeks and have physiotherapy etc.
During his time off his work contract expired and because his company didn't renew it he blamed me, and said he was going to sue me for loss of earnings etc.
So my parents solictor got involved and he got a solictor and before it got to the courts it turns out his company wasn't going to renew his contract anyway as he was rubbish at the job and he was payed for the 3 weeks he was signed off work so it all fell through and he had to front the solicitor charges
So then I was faced with the decision of - do I want to be friends with someone who was willing to take me to court? - the answer was no.

Na - both wrong, I've made my decision, and I'm not looking for what people would have done in my situation, my curiosity has just got the better of me and wondered if anyone else has been faced with the same decision and what came of it.

He wasn't taking YOU to court, he would have ended up taking your INSURER to court. It's just a technacility and it would have made absolutely zero difference to you, your insurance, your future driving career or anything if he had won his case.
Although the case in question would have stated he was taking action against you due to your negligence, this is just the way the legal system worked - it would all have been picked up by your insurer and would not have cost you a penny.

curiosity...
My next question is why you don't want to publicly show the idea that you may be uncertain?
Were you driving recklessly? Was the accident your fault? Be honest with yourself, if it was, his right to take you to court was pretty fair as he was under the misapprehension that he lost his job due to being off sick. Which, btw, is still possibly the case - what employer would admit to sacking someone because they were ill? If it was genuinely an unavoidable accident then it's a different story.
Does it matter?..
