As ever in this thread, I didn't notice the number plate due to forgetting to notice it.
It's worth actually training yourself to notice/remember numbers as the first reaction. It takes a little practice, but any time anyone gives a slightly too close pass, or even just randomly, try to focus on the number and remember it as quickly as you can. The more you do it the easier it becomes. Hopefully when you need it the next time you'll be able to. That said, jumping out of the way of a trailer is enough to give you other things to think about...
Glad you're ok

On my way home today in I nearly got flattened by a Landrover and his trailer. I think the driver had forgotten that they were towing as, once past me, they began to move back towards the kerb. This caused the trailer to come perilously close and I had to mount the dropped kerb to avoid a squishing.
As ever in this thread, I didn't notice the number plate due to forgetting to notice it. I did manage to bellow 'Wanker!' and make the corresponding hand signal for the driver's benefit though.
The Transit driver following the Landrover gave me a cheery thumbs up, but I think he was commenting more on my quick-witted escape route and robust Anglo-Saxon driver rating skills, than on my health.
