Hello Danger!
Bastard police are useless, Gelatin Agent had her bike stolen, found it, found out that it was sold from a shop on Brick Lane, and offered to go around with the girl who'd bought it and the police to confront the shop about selling stolen bikes. The police delayed 4 times and eventually the girl with the stolen bike disappeared and changed her mobile number so that she couldn't be contacted any more!
You should definitely take it up a level, short of handing them criminals on a platter there really isn't much more you could do to make their job easier.
Everyone complains about bike crime, road deaths and stolen bikes, and it's the one thing the police could easily sort out. They know where stolen bikes are being sold, they know where they are being stolen from and in your case they have actual evidence of dangerous driving (I can't believe you have his number plate!) infact forget dangerous driving, it's hit and run.
they take the piss and you should definitely kick up a stink.
