A quote from Colorado that seemed useful:
"There were about 12 reported incidents in Fort Collins in 2003. It was an
alert bicyclist which ended the spree. After being struck on the arm by a
passing jeep, he rode directly to a pay phone, called the cops with a vehicle
description. The description matched all other reports and the police flooded
the area with every available patrol. They found the jeep a couple blocks away
with three high school boys and a bat in the back seat. They were convicted but
only served probationary sentences as they were minors with no priors. We
have gotten approval for bicyclists to report aggressive behavior against
bicyclists to our State Patrols aggressive driver hotline. You can read
details at http://bicyclecolo.org/page.cfm?PageID=731
I think our best defensive it to report every incident. These perpetrators
are bad drivers. They will be in crashes and get tickets sooner than later.
When they do, having a series of citizen reports against them will give the
District Attorney the justification to pursue strong penalties permitted in
traffic law."
