So I was sitting up in a car park on top of a hill with a friend in the car, taking pictures of the town lit up at night, (it was around 1:30AM) when a few 18 - 25 yr olds roll up in a Jeep, then evidently frustrated that they didn't have the car-park to themselves floored it and slid it around in the gravel a bit before pulling up, they then and proceeded to start smoking "something" and blaring out music. They eventually got bored and left the car park (in the same way they entered it). When we left they were parked high up on the grass bank, and they pulled out and followed us once we had gone past.
At this point I wasn't really bothered, but then they proceeded to speed past me at about 60 (?) in a 30, on the wrong side of the road, on the wrong side of chevrons and traffic islands, round a slight bend. I dropped it down a couple of gears and sped up a tad so I could get his plate when he had to brake for the roundabout, I did so and got my friend to put it in her phone. Anyway, they slowed a bit and then ended up going the same way as us so we were behind them up until a roundabout where they took a different exit.
About 5 minutes later after we have gone through a couple of junctions and made a couple of turns, they come speeding up behind us again, far too close, so I dabbed the brakes and turned into a turning without indicating, they missed it and went past. I then parked the car behind a lorry and switched off, then a couple of minutes later saw them pull into the road, and take the wrong turning off of it having not seen us.
A few minutes later I continued my journey and was un-hindered.
Considering reporting them to the police, but having not done so before, is it even worth it? I mean, they only have my word. I have no proof of what they did? And I don't really have any kind of description of the passengers or the driver?
I'm pretty sure they didn't mean to harass or intimidate us, and because of how empty the roads were apart from us I didn't really feel "in danger" at any point, they were just under the influence of a certain popular illegal high (I assume) and were driving dangerously. God knows what they're doing now.
Thoughts?
I have the make, model and colour of their car, the registration, and I know the vehicle had 3 occupants, 2 male 1 female.
I know if I'm going to do it I should have done it straight away so that the Police are on the case, but I just got in, I'm in bed as I type this, my eyes are heavy and I have to be up for work in 6 hours... The last thing I want to do is have to speak coherently on the phone.

OP said he dabbed the brakes and turned... sounds like normal turning to me (minus the lack of indication ofc 
... but then that would have given the game away).
