the brighton police are overworked i'm sure, but when i got randomly assulted i actually had to phone them up twice to remind them to take a statement. i never heard anything back, but i'm glad i at least reported it.
funny that we're talking about near-misses... i just had one on King's Road, some idiot in a 206 GTI was inches from my back wheel whilst shouting that I should be in the bike lane. i wasn't exactly travelling slow (testing out the new mavic wheel for speed) at about 25mph and accelarating... if i'd so much as tapped the brake i'd have been under his wheels. needless to say i gave him a piece of my mind, took his number plate and reported him. unfortunately i didn't stop for witnesses. but at least his plate is on file for agressive driving towards a cyclist...
