As I happened to be passing the business/home address, I took a look and I think he's now got a new numberplate, BE57 TLM.
Though the last three letters should match the name of the company. I may have got that wrong.

At the time I knew he was going to drive at me when the wheel turned but I expected him to stop as he did; I thought he was going to jump out like what happened to @Black Country Ste, hence why I dismounted my bike (you don't want to be on your bike when someone comes to punch you, as we have seen in multiple videos).

...
Had he driven over the cyclist that would have have been an assault and/or motoring offences and he could well have them been charged. But he didn't. He put our chap 'in fear', which is S4 POA, not an assault.

It's a case of "and if my Aunt had balls, she'd be my Uncle." As frightening a it was our OP was not assaulted - the offender can not be dealt with for an offence he didn't commit.

As far as I know, you can be assaulted without physical contact and 'assault' as many people know it is actually battery; I think.
I've not posted for a bit because I've been settling in at uni.

Ridiculous that he only got a caution. Should at least have been points on his licence. We don't need people like him behind the wheel.

Probably why he accepted the caution – didn’t want points on his licence. IMO increased premiums over a 5 year period are more of a deterrent than a fine?

BTW – Nuke ‘em from space. It’s the only way to be sure.

That is a very good idea!! being 23 my premiums are high enough anyway so the last thing i would want is a further increase! hugely deterring IMO
