Leaving aside all details, at the end of Wednesday night's ride, I had a brief exchange of words with a car driver who then "assaulted" me - more a "technical" assault rather than broken bones and blood, but it was assault.
I wasn't going to go to the Police, but due to some of his actions in the course of this, I agreed that the guy needed to be spoken to and reported it to the local beat officer, although I can't see the point prosecuting him.
They have now identified the driver - having a very distinctive personal number plate no doubt helped - and they are suddenly very keen to go and have a chat with him.
I have a nagging doubt that I may well have upset the local nutter who will now have it in for me and other cyclists, which isn't quite what I envisaged....
Reassure me that I did the right thing!
