The only rule on UK roads today is that thou shalt not go past a yellow painted box more than 10% above the posted speed limit. Drunk, stoned, incompetant, stupid, on the phone, shaving, shagging, without insurance, stolen car, dead body in the boot, all the above, no one will do anything until you actually crash.
Treat UK drivers accordingly and you'll live longer.
BTW, I'd wonder why you passed within a doors distance of a parked car? (or maybe you didn't). Get well out in the road out of range of swinging metal or slow to a speed where you can blow the horn, stop safely and then give the dental profession some extra work with your tyre lever. (OK, maybe not the last bit). If you are within a doors width at speed you'll also be at risk of collecting kamikaze pram pushers and that creates serious paperwork.
