Wow that sounds pretty shit. I've had a few incidents where drivers have started turning into me trying to intimidate me during altercations and one time an angry guy on a moped chase me down portobello road while trying to grab me. Always terrifying.
Oh, and one time on Camden Road a drivers partner started screaming at me which led to an exchange of words which then led to the driver getting out with a knuckle duster hidden behind his back. I saw it and with the help of adrenaline, I told him to put it away and that he wasn't going to use it. Thankfully he put it away. He was shaky AF and we both knew he wouldn't use it. He had 2 kids in the back of his car. I use to just stand my ground but after all of this, I don't think they are all bluffing.
I'm glad you are ok and I hope the footage you have helps your case. I'm definitely investing in cameras when I am back on the bike.

Thanks, annoyingly I have a front camera as well but I don't tend to bother with it at the weekends (just for commuting) but I always have the rear on as it is a light as well. I think I may just ride with both all of the time now. A&S Police are pretty pro-active with following these things up so it is worth trying to get some action against these people when these rare incidents occur.
Would freak me out. Unknown liquid suddenly on you, horrible behaviour.
It wasn't until a few secs after it happened that the possible ramifications hit me. You can see the water spary in the rear camera but unfortunately not him actually throwing it.
After the initial close pass with me he had an altercation with another car and was stopped in the road, that is how I caught him back up. He must have been having one hell of a bad morning, or perhaps is just a raging psychopath most of the time.

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.
