I'd call that malcious damage and vandalism. If I were the driver, I'd stop, detain you, and call the police. You'd not have a legal leg to stand on.
Actually you would have a legal leg to stand on, that the driver physically attempted to drive over or through you to get to his destination. That's called reckless endangerment, among other things.
