Is there much point expecting much to come of reporting a car with foreign plates? They're EU but I can't make out the country code, possibly someone with a decent computer that does better freeze-frames might be able to. I've got the reg itself but no way of looking it up that I know of.
Essentially I was following Jane down a very narrow, skoggy lane (Nash Lane in Bromley if you're local). Anyone who's cycled with me knows I'm a very cautious descender and given it was hissing it down and the lane was covered in chutney today was no exception.
Jane had just gone round a bend a little way ahead when a VW 4x4 coming towards us pretty much forced her off the road (she told me this later as she was out of my sight by then); luckily there was a track that she was able to swerve into, then the driver comes round the bend and drives towards me only stopping at the very last moment (he essentially fills most of the lane with his car so I've not got anywhere to go). I braked sharply and managed to fall into the hedge next to him as in my efforts to get out of the way I'd slipped in the leaves at the side of the road.
As I briefly lay in the verge/hedge feeling a bit dazed he shouted 'Get out of the fucking way' and drove off, clipping the back of my bike as he went. It doesn't seem to be damaged luckily, I think he clipped the wheel/tyre and the Surly has pretty bombproof wheels with eleventy million spokes.
It's all on front and rear camera, but I wonder if much will be done given the foreign plates and the fact that I didn't actually die (but could have done if I was a bolder descender). It shook me up though and I needed to take a few moments before we carried on, resisting the strong urge to cut the ride short and cycle home crying. I'm not physically hurt or anything thanks to the slow speed that I fell over.
