Crazy woman attempted to knock me off

On my way home from a lecture at uni just now ( it was raining ) a woman attempted to pull out in front of me from a junction on purpose with no lights or indicators on in poor visibility. I have bright white HID's and a bright orange bike so there's no excuse that she didn't see me. I was going at about 25 - 30mph.

I beeped and swerved to avoid her and my rear wheel slid dramatically from beneath me and I very nearly came off.

Trying hard to keep my temper I carried on my journey, her following me. When we got to the roundabout down the road, I was taking the third exit. She cut me up on the inside line, driving as fast as she could, got in front of me and slammed on the brakes. Again, I swerved but didn't lose control of the bike thank god.

As we both came off at the same exit, she opened the throttle and attempted to drive off. I don't know how on earth she thought a citroen c4 could outrun an SV... so I rode along next to her, beeped and indicated for her to pull over. She ignored me.

We came to a set of traffic lights, so I pulled up beside her, slammed on her window and shouted at her to get out of her car. She ignored me.
Fuming, I was so tempted to kick in her door or key her car or something. But instead I kept my cool and let her drive off.

Many cars around us saw what she'd done and indicated to me that they'd seen.

Still fuming.

My question is, what would you have done if you were in my position? Did I make the right choices?

Did you take the reg number, report it to old bill, you can prob do it over the phone as there was no collision and they may check local traffic cams if you have times and locations etc.

Worth a punt, you have nothing to lose.

Just got off the phone with my local police and unfortunately because I didn't take note of her registration, and they don't have access to the CCTV footage recorded in that area nothing can be done. So I guess she got away with attempted murder unless one of the other witnesses reports it.

Why the hell did you engage in that sort of confrontation? She tried to blast away and you followed her and pulled up beside her and banged on her window?

The way I saw it, she had attempted to knock me off my bike twice by that point and I wasn't happy about it. I wanted to know why she'd done that.

Like if someone attempts a hit and run on someone, I wouldn't let them attempt to run, I don't feel it's right, I needed an explanation as to why she did what she did to me.

And by doing so you continued to put yourself in danger.

You should have taken a mental note of registration and let her drive off.

Ok thanks for your opinion.

Just ignore people as they tend to tell you to ride like a saint when even they would do the same.

Dealing with this kind of incident is what I do. It's well publicised that I am one of the orgs "plumbers". So excuse me if I'm the one who has to go and tell a parent their son has died after a road rage incident resulting him getting knocked off his bike.

after the second time and depending on my mood/seriousness of event i would have either

A. stayed well the feck away from her

B. at any given opportunity smash feck out the car and her if she got out.

endanger my life and i will do the same to you... simples
