Thank you @eezis for linking to Kennetts blogpost. What a painfully sad story. Lets hope that Adelaide recovers completely and the driver won't be allowed behind another steering wheel.
Just yesterday afternoon I had another reckless driver deliberately drive up close to a few centimeters behind my rear wheel because he saw me as an obstacle. This was just 30 Meters away from a red light. The argument through the driver window, as always in situations like this, lead nowhere. People like this know, that there will be no consequences to their behaviour, so they keep on risking other peoples lives...
You might be interested in the german project http://wegeheld.org, which mainly focuses on documenting parking offences. Sadly the interface of the app is not there yet.
Being able to use a phone to document and upload an incident report complete with pictures/videos and GPS location and GPS track info would be a great plus to any such app. Also being able to warn other cyclists of reckless drivers in a specific area or of an ongoing incident might be helpful (i.e. if witnesses are needed).
