I was rammed several times Saturday morning but avoided being hit, the altercation ended with the driver pulling beside me with window down and spraying (what thankfully turned out to be) water all over me (twice).
I have a rear camera that caught and initial close pass and his registration. Unfortunately the incidents that followed only captured the side of car, so there could be an element of 'it wasn't me gov'.
Have sent report and footage to police and am waiting to hear back.

Chase this up now! Make a complaint write to your local council. Was it on a tfl road? Annoy tfl. Be as big a pain as possible.

Thought I would give a quick update on this.
So it took me a while to report it but I did get round to doing an online report. I gave all details, times, dates etc. The form is not great and I would of preffered to speak to an officer before but as they didn't really help at the time, the form was the next option.
I received a call today from an officer who firstly started to question me about the date of the incident while sounding a bit annoyed. I explained that I had an inury and admittedly have been slow at reporting but felt it was important to report it incase the driver was a danger to more people.
For the whole call the officers tone was very much, this is routine and not worth their time but they have to make the call before they bury it. The officer ended with she doesn't know what route they will go down but they will be in touch. We can all make our own conclusion on that one I think. It felt like she really had no interest which didnt surprise me and definitely confirms why a few of us have doubts about reporting this kind of incident.
I hope the driver has reflected and doesn't act like an aggressive arsehole towards other cyclists because I'm sure he is now aware that he can get away with it. Maybe the met will surprise me but I doubt it.
