Agree with everyone else here. Even if you don't have the details, go to the Police with time/date and any obvious markings or other information. You might not see the benefit of it personally, but if he makes a habit of driving recklessly someone might make the connection.

Just log it at least - just incase....
I was here 2 months ago - yup ok, knocked off, feel fine if a bit bruised....
Christmas, not too much bikes, lots of rest and booze.......
Wasn't until I went swimming with the family.....ohh that's not right - clunk click went my shoulder...until then, I felt fine - it's been sore ever since and still clunk clicks.... I didn't want to 'ambulance chase' as folk call it.....
My shoulder is messed up and it's only a Grade 1 - just look up what some folk have had - Grade 3,4 - total dislocation.....snapped ligaments etc..OMG..........it's costing £78 a week out of my pocket to treat it at the moment......
So, even though I am a die hard.........I took advice from here....... I reported it...it turned out that I was more injured than I thought !

Yes. It may not benefit you, or the next person he hits, but a canny copper might put 2 and 2 together and connect them, and it'll go into the statistics, and who knows, someone may actually care enough one day to do something about the standard of driving out there...
