Top tips; I've just used the RoadSafe site to report an incident yesterday. A clubmate and I were riding through Dulwich after training at the velodrome when a car on the opposite of the road & going in the opposite direction swerved over to try and take both of us out. He stopped at the red lights in the village where I caught up with him, followed by my clubmate and knocked on his window. Another cyclist arrived and the driver got out of his car to square up to all three of us. When we got out phones to take pictures he backed off, got into his car then drove through the red light to get away - in full view of several other drivers, independent pedestrian witness and cctv. The first thing he said when he got out of his car was a rant about cyclists not paying road tax... ffs. First time I've encountered that level of maliciousness and deliberate intent to harm. Didn't half give me the shakes.
Anyway, incident has been reported and I have the relevant form to complete and have witness details a-plenty. Hopefully this will get followed up.
Hope he didn't meet any other cyclists yesterday evening as I would really fear for their safety.
