Please report dangerous drivers to the police - Roadsafe. Report to plod, not just whinge here.

I don't usually post near misses and stuff, but this one freaked me out.

Riding home from work last night, on a busyish road that is quite narrow (space for cars going both ways, but not much more).

There's a bus coming up fast behind me, but it's still quite a long way back so I figure it'll slow down as it gets nearer. By the time it gets close I realise that it isn't slowing down at all. There's a gap between the parked cars to my left, so I swerve sharply into the space. A split second later the bus drives over the bit of tarmac I would/should have been on, leaving about a foot between itself and the next parked car.

I catch up at the next stop and, figuring that the driver must not have seen me (despite lights and reflectives), try to explain as calmly as I can that he nearly ran me over. I've barely opened my mouth when he starts shouting: "DO NOT CHALLENGE! I AM CYCLIST! YOU CANNOT CHALLENGE! YOU MUST LEAVE ROOM!"

So he obviously did see me. I wanted to establish exactly what it was that he thought I should have done differently, but he just kept shouting the same shit. In the end I called him something unimaginative and left it at that.

Got the reg number (I think) so will report him to TfL in case that does some good.
