WIBU to report this intimidating behaviour to 101?

Last night I was driving home after dinner with friends when I was harassed by another driver.
I was joining the motorway, behind a really slow car in the middle lane and this absolute dickhead in an Audi, also joining the motorway, tried to pull out and overtake me as I was doing so, he came up really close behind flashing his lights, so once it was safe to do so I moved back over.
he pulls in front and slams his brakes on, then drives really slowly, so I pull out to overtake and he speeds up again, driving alongside me and being really abusive, so I slow down and he does the same, I speed up, same again.
this ‘game’ continues for a couple of minutes and I start to get a bit panicky.
eventually he gets bored and drives off but it left me really shaken.
I took the number plate down, so WIBU to report him to 101? Or should I just let it go and forget about it?

Report! They’ll be able to check the motorway cameras

No you were absolutely right to report them. Not sure if anything would be done about it with services being so stretched at the moment.
People like this cause accidents. I hope you are feeling better now things like that are very scary.

Definitely report him. Hate people like that.

Report and go get a dashcam. Next time someone decides to be a dick point at it. They’ll soon fuck off.

Definitely report it. I’ve had this happen and it’s so scary. Wish I had taken the number plate. It is so so dangerous

I've had this happen to me in my little VW up! Funnily enough, it never happens when I drive my DH's Tesla at the same speeds. Some drivers are dickheads.

Thanks, will report it online, not that I expect anything to actually be done about it, but hopefully if he makes a habit of it then it adds to the body of evidence!
