Why do people shout from cars? Because they have tiny brains and are inadequate in areas of there anatomy... why else would they think they were clever?
I'd say yes, especially if you have the reg. My incident was in the category of Hate Crime. I was able to report it online.DLB said:Is it worth reporting? I do have the reg number.

Sorry... I've got my coat on already, I'll go...
DLB said:i had a similar situation about a week ago. some idiot in a mazda shouted as he passed me. lookily i wasn't that surprised and so i didn't swerve. another 200m up the road the car was stuck in traffic and so i got his number plate and knocked on the passenger window and thanked the idiot for shouting and asked him if he realised how dangerous it was. I got a load of crap back and i backed off whe i realised there were three in the car whist i was all alone.
i didn't report it to the police as didn't think they wuld do anything. the driver didn'tdo the shouting and so i'm not sure they could trace the passenger. Is it worth reporting? I do have the reg number.

They do try to follow it up

Cab said:I got called an 'ignorant Welsh tosser'.
I'm not Welsh. I don't sound Welsh. If it were possible to look Welsh, I'm sure I don't look Welsh either.
Arch said:Probably only that in that situation, the cyclist has no idea that you also cycle, and will probably not have time to register the word, so will just hear an incoherant yell, and will think "Huh, bloody van driving yob..." So they'd probably be annoyed, rather than offended.
