Good luck. I'd be interested to hear how being a witness goes.
Interesting that it has taken almost a year for you to hear it is going to court.

Not sure what the court appearance will entail yet.
You'll wait a bit (maybe half hour, depending) in the waiting room before they call you to the courtroom. If the defendant doesn't show then you don't need to testify. Giving testimony is basically answering questions and clarifying things with the magistrates, sometimes multiple times. Your video may or may not get shown in court depending on the prosecutor's tactics. You won't be able to view the proceedings before it's your turn to give testimony, afterwards you can sit and watch the rest. The prosecutor will brief you in the waiting room first. The toilet might have a coded lock. :)
Two court appearences so far, one of which I didn't need to give testimony. Positive outcomes.

Yeah I'm interested why you are being called.
Do you get paid? As you sort of are a professional witness.

I regularly submit footage from rides and when driving when there is a dangerous incident.
I normally get a follow up email to say action is being taken but they never tell you what that is.
I have just received an email for an incident of driving while on phone from last September that is due to go to court on November.
I am required to attend court which I will do, hopefully it may end up with one less driver using their phone.
