I was driving along a village high street, with cars parked on the other side of the road, and I saw a very large lorry travelling quite fast towards me. I slowed, from 30mph to just under 20mph, as I was slightly apprehensive being a new driver, having only passed my test a month ago. The oncoming lorry did not slow down, which I believe it should have done, as there were cars obstructing his side of the road. He moved inward, onto my side of the road, and I panicked and slowed right down, and I then realised he was not going to slow or stop, so I drove onto the kerb slightly so that he could pass without hitting the right hand side of my car, whilst sounding the horn so that he would at least slow, and to warn any pedestrians (of which there were none). I parked up, and check the tyre, and there is now a large puncture and the tyre went flat within a minute.

I would like to know whether I did the right thing in this situation? Should I have stopped well before the parked cars on his side of the road, as the oncoming lorry may not stop, or should I continue as it was my right of way? Also, is there somebody I can report this to, officially, perhaps as a warning to the company he was driving for? I, unfortunately, did not see his registration plate or any vehicle details so cannot identify the driver or the lorry.
