A 26-year-old woman was sentenced to 45 days in prison after she pursued a cyclist in her car and then knocked him down. This happened after a verbal altercation between the cyclist and motorist when her car was obstructing the cycle path, which resulted in the cyclist breaking her side-view mirror and riding away.
The woman didn't have a driving licence but was driving an Audi, and is disqualified from learning to drive for three years.
In court she admitted the charges straightaway: had she not done so, the judge would have sentenced her to 90 days in prison.

I can't see this kind of thing happening in the UK for a while, but if it starts to set a precedent here, maybe it will spread abroad.
