If I could fire off a police report, that would give me more satisification than cursing at the jerk.
Here we generally have six characters. It's doable if you think quickly enough, but the problem was, I didn't. Had I looked up straight away and caught even a glimpse of the plate with the intention of reporting it, I'm sure I could have memorised it for long enough to pull over and write it down.
