Did this too with the landfill company that used to be up the road - their drivers were great around the horses.
Would you do this or am I just rude?

I have, regarding a lorry who tried to kill myself, my sister and our two ponies. I really won't put it any other way as had it not been for our horse's quick reactions to jump onto a high steep grass verge we would not have lived. The guy basically floored it right towards us - straight road wearing high viz and correct hand signals to slow down, he had no excuse.
The big green parcel machine vans are, however, very noticable. I didn't get a chance to get a plate but took a note of the time and immediatly emailed the company when I got home, stating the time of the incident and location. Since they are a delivery company I figured they could work it out.
Three polite emails later, I was still utterly ignored. So, I have hereby sworn to never use them, and will go out of my way to persuade any company I work for to change should that be their regular service.
OP, you did the right thing and I hope you get a better outcome than I did.
