Thats pretty fucking rough, did he actually ram you? Them traffic calming measures and state of road would cause any road user to have to use the centre or right hand side of the road, dangerous road planning if you ask me
Had one yesterday, old duffer in an automatic Honda who thought overtake into a cross roads then left hanger to the kerb, followed by several hundred metres of brake check + squash into a parked bus was an acceptable thing to do, then tried to reverse over me. Apparently I don't pay road tax so don't have a right, but actually he was lucky I didn't pull him out of the car by his face.
So do not want to get a camera and be that guy, but now reached the level that this deliberate intention to maim with a car has become common place. Most effective thing I've found to do is when they get out of hand and start becoming violent, remove the keys and ride 100m away with them into a group of other people or police station.
BrickMan-
Not quite rammed, but a tap to get me to stop, I'm not stopping for anyone in a car after getting punched in the face for doing so last time, respond is good;
Dear Mr Scoble,
Please accept my apologies and ignore the message which was sent to you earlier today.
The correct location has been identified as we had searched for Albert Terrace and not Aldebert Terrace as stated.
A letter has now been sent to the registered keeper making them aware of the submission. We hope that the warning will alter their driving behaviour improve their consideration for other road users.
Please continue to report any incidents which you deem necessary in the future, although we hope your cycling experience is a safe one.
Kind Regards,
PC EL-HARRAK PC1455T

I don't want to be that guy too, mainly because I'm afraid that I might become more aggressive responding to even the smallest misdemeanours.
That last incident however is justified to report it to the police since the driver insist on getting me off the bike to "talk" to me.
