...and then he drives at you at speed
That's avoidable.
I think riding away with a sense of moral superiority is a better move.
Nope, completely disagree. I think people behaving in an assholish way (like, actual assholes, not minor mistakes or whatever) should encounter a stiff headwind to at least make them aware that other people will not just roll over and take it. I'm done with being nice and morally superior, if I have a problem with people on the road, they will notice it.
Again, this is for actually bad cases, otherwise I'd spend my entire commute seething with rage - and actually, 99% of the time I'm quite happy and just enjoying the cycling.
Or get a camera
Yeah I'm considering this, especially now that there are cheaper GoPro knock-offs that actually work pretty well.

I think riding away with a sense of moral superiority is a better move. No of the times that I've lost it and called bad driver a prick have resulted in them apologising and amending their behaviour. I have had someone drive at me though after I (justifiably) shouted abuse...
Assholes don't become less assholey when their assholiness is pointed out to them, usually the opposite is true.
