probably dangerous or drunk driving offences already. Do her kid a favour and get the woman off the road.

I got most of my info from the NSW version of this site:
www.legalaid.qld.gov.au
This bit seems best place to start
http://www.legalaid.qld.gov.au/gatew...s/motorveh.htm
The Motor Accident Insurance Commission may also be useful.
www.maic.treasury.qld.gov.au
I think it's the equivalent of the MAA in NSW.
Also make an enquiry to the cops, you don't need to give them specifics.

Go to the police. It was more luck than judgement that you weren't seriously hurt. Next time the other driver might not come off so lightly and if you do nothing, you can guarantee there will be a next time
