Writing in the Sunday Times, Dan thanked the driver for "staying around" after the incident, before adding: "I am confident that I am not to blame and hope this can be resolved outside the courts.
"I know I could have died, but I also know how easy it is to make a mistake, even when you're trying to be very careful."
Speaking shortly after the terrifying ordeal, Dan told his followers: "I think I got hit by a car but was out cold for about 20 minutes. I have no memory of it, I can't believe I haven’t broken anything or that it is so much worse.
