The other day while riding along in a development (wide roads), a truck came flying through and cut right next to me running me off the road and into a mailbox. I rolled into it and my leg somewhat wrapped around the post of the mailbox and I heard a not so nice "pop" sound. I went home and iced it immediately and the swelling has gone down dramatically. My knee is getting better, but I am still frustrated with the fact that the person in the truck fealt the need to run me off the road. I was riding against traffic and he made it a point to cross over to the other side of the street. I took his tags down.

You can call the police, but without other witnesses they prolly won't do much. My daughter's car got vandalized by a neighbor. It's a long story but there was a reason why she knew who did it. Anyway, she called the police, and they said without an actual witness or security camera evidence, theres not much they can do. They filled out a report, and mailed a copy of it to the guy saying that he had been named as a suspect in the incident. Eventually the landlord kicked him out because he was causing trouble for everyone. But like I said, there wasn't much help from the police.
Get a lawyer to write up a nice letter to the guy claiming injury and ask for a settlement instead of a lawsuit.

My point is you can frighten the guy without taking it to court. You dont need court for a legal letter. Another issue is finding who he is based on his license plate.

It is a little different than with your daughter though because your daughter didn't even see them. This kid was obviously there (hard to get wrapped around a mailbox without being there) You can act as your own witness if you saw it happen.
I suggest doing something about it but that is just my two cents
