Reporting Dangerous Drivers?

So after a particularly menacing exchange with a driver (no physical harm done because I was careful, even though they weren't), I always memorize their license plate and think I should report this person for dangerous driving. Now, I realize that since nothing actually happened to me, nothing would happen to them, but it does make me feel better to know their license plate and that I *could* track them down. Does anyone else have these feelings? Is there a place to post them, even just for my own or others venting/benefit?

My buddy from today: male driver, silver SUV - G97 5034 - intentionally hit my shoulder riding south on Wells after Wacker. Thankfully I was going slow enough that I didn't lose my balance.

This bike blog often posts the license plate numbers of people driving poorly. It is in the UK.

Maybe a section of TheChainlink could be reserved for this info?

Alternately start a new website and model it after the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry.

There is previous discussion that has a lot of good information about reporting dangerous drivers:
