Firstly, I would like to say am I sorry you had to put up with someone else's bad - selfish driving.
I had a hit and run situation just over two years ago (Never brought this up on the forum before) which went to court and the lady driver was found guilty. I was cycling from SE London - Lee to Victoria via Peckham - Camberwell and a lady driver cut me up badly, by turning right from the opposite direction. It was perfect daylight and was wearing a flourescent yellow cycling top. Her right turning was so abrupt that we both come to a very sudden halt around 5 metres before Queen's Road/St Mary's Road junction. I fell heavily and was furious as the women didn't apologise or make an attempt to get out of the car to see if I was ok. Luckily there was a witness who saw everything who was furious with the situation as the woman drove off just after as she pulled over and was about to ask for her details. The witness and I both got her number plate, I reported it to the Police and she was found guilty on several different accounts.
Anyway, If you got this drivers number plate there is a chance that some justice can be done, possibly... never easy without a witness and always a very slow process should anything happen in your favour. However, glad nothing is broken and that you are ok.
