So should I have let it drop, or gotten her plate number and given it to the cops?
"Very, very, very close" is not an accident. The police wouldn't have much of a reason to get involved.

Yes, she failed to yield the right-of-way, but the police would have to look at it as a situation of your word against hers. They also probably would have more important things to do even if there were third-party witnesses to corroborate your side of the story.

Next time, don't leap out of the way; leap up onto the hood of the car and teach the driver a lesson about failing to yield the right-of-way and liability. Only take this risk if it's a really nice car!
