The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Hugs for Amanda!
Losers...
You did good by reporting it to the cops. Don't let it get to you too much...
Karma happens. If they keep up this behaviour they're bound to slip up so one day they'll be forced to ride their bikes, they won't be doing it for fun like you! It's either that or they'll be catching the bus. You'll be able to kick up the dust in their face as you go speeding by!

Ah... AA... most alarming
But you will draw on the pleasure and confidene you have had prior to this
You will come to believe it was a one-off with idiots who will probably never drive that piece of road again
You will get out there and it will make you stronger
Its understandable that you broke down when you got home, its a natural reaction in a "shock" situation.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

That kind of thing is not fun. It's also *really* dangerous. You reacted better than I would have.
When I've had a scary ride, the best thing for getting my confidence back is to get back on the bike. If it was really bad, I try to pay attention to all the drivers who follow the rules of the road. There's a lot of 'em! Then I tend to feel better.
