I indicate to the car behind to see if they saw what happened, say to Mel 'He just tried to hit me!' then realise I don't have his licence plate number. So I set off after him - ah don't you love urban traffic. I sit on his tail for about 30 seconds, him looking in the mirror the whole time, me ready in case he locks the wheels up, and make sure he's aware that I'm taking the time to memorise his number.
The police were great on the phone (I forgot to look up the name of the street and he waited for me to find it commenting, 'you were too busy still being alive', and his comment when I mentioned that Mel was there and saw parts of what happened was 'excellent'). Got an incident number, will be making a full statement tonight.
I know people will come on here and say that I instigated it by hitting his car, and I have to accept that to an extent - my only defence being it's not something I do as a matter of course (see above) and felt completely instinctive at the time to avoid being crushed betwixt MG and parked car.
