Information you will need to supply:
Where possible you should include:
- A description of the incident
- The driver's badge number (if possible)
- The plate number and/or registration number of the vehicle
- The date and time of the incident and journey details (to and from)
- Other passengers present

Generally, complaints are dealt with by the licensing offers who will take appropriate action once the investigation is complete.
Serious complaints which may result in action being taken through the courts will require witness statements from all those present during the incident.
If you do not wish to make a witness statement, the complaint is unlikely to go to court and may be dealt with in a less formal manner.
