Some cyclists & runners carry voice recorders to note the license plate numbers of cars that put them in danger. Many smart phones have recorders in them.

When the weather is bad, drivers here don't even stop at posted bicycle crossing intersections (the ones with the flashing yellow lights), and they pull through crosswalks. There are a couple of intersections that are much too dangerous to ride, so I use the crossing lights and walk my bike. I often have to catch the eye of the driver in the first car in the right turn lane. Even if I have the crossing sign, if one goes, they all go and I then need to wait another light cycle. Brrr! They are much more courteous when it is warm. I sometimes wonder if it is because they don't expect to see cyclists in the winter.

That probably explains a lot. And cyclists are just as bad as auto drivers if two bikes are approaching a place narrowed by snow. I try to be polite, but if there's no room it's hard sometimes.
I thought a guy was going to hit me today, but could easily see he was just concentrating on the ground, not looking at me at all.
