Driver uses her car as a weapon, Deptford

From C+

Riding home last night at 6.30 thru Deptford along Evelyn St, a 4x4
(Nissan Patrol?....privacy glass windows) pulled from McMillan St into
the road in front of me to join the traffic but stopped halfway out as
there was no gap to join. This made me swerve, but no big deal; I went
round the back and carried on. As I have to get over to the right to
get into the filter lane into Deptford Church St fairly sharpish from
here; I signalled right and moved over behind the car infront, but I
could here a FRANTIC revving from behind getting very close and
glanced back to see the nose of the Nissan heading stright for my back
wheel.....I swerved a bit but it came so close its mirror hit my
(signalling) hand. It revved off to be the first to wait at the
traffic light waitng to go into Deptford Church St. I said nothing but
waited at the lights at a safe distance from the Nissan; I didn't even
look at it. At the next lights I got to the front of the queue. When
the lights went green this Nissan came up behind me so closely,
revving its engine so frantically I was convinced it was going to hit
me(it was veering sharply over towards me at the kerb by now) so I
pulled my front wheel up onto the kerb. It was doing that stop/start/
on-the-clutch/on-the-brake jerky thing. Like having a mad kangaroo
start aimed at you. By now I had to say some thing so I asked what the
F### they were trying to do. I could now see it was driven by a young
girl and full of her mates. As I was saying this the rear window wound
down and I received a face full of gob from a nasty little chavette.
The Nissan revved off in a stench of fried clutch. Off course, the
next part of the road is single file thru roadworks. Evertime I got
near, it would swerve VIOLENTLY towards me, so I tried to go on the
pavement, but it mounted the pavement to try & hit me. I realised it
was probably best to be behind it, but, no; it sarted reversing
violently back.....The other cars around me were keeping their
distance. It stayed stopped for a few moments.....all traffic held up
at a standstill by it. It the occured to me that they could just jump
out and stab/shoot/maim me. I took my phone out and got a photo of the
registration plate (P497 TGU). Whether they saw me do this or not I
don't know as it had privacy glass, but it had the desired affect and
it screeched off. I was quite shaken up. I called the police station
when I got home and had to leave a message. I said I wanted to report
an incident. I'm still waiting for a reply.

I did absolutley nothing to provoke this behaviour.....well, apart
from being on a bike. I'm still shaken by it.

The police have been very good and have the registration.

Kind of the driver to volunteer a DNA sample...
