How to approach driver after near-miss? I have plenty of near-miss incidents. Most of the time I just awkwardly cycling along with the 'near-miss' driver* (urban, so plenty of traffic lights). And it truly feels awkward! 

This time I tried to approach the driver, just to say if he/she ok. The problem with near-miss is that I am usually shaken, for obvious reason. I believe the driver would feel the same. So I thought it would be best for both to stop and talked about it, make sure that both of us is OK to continue the journey, rather than keep thinking about the incident.

One time, the male yells at me I shouldn't be on the road, albeit he was in the wrong?? Another time, the female driver bursts into tears saying sorry??

Is approaching driver after near-miss is a bad idea??

*'Near-miss' drivers in my area are usually considerate, but they are human and prone to making mistakes. If he/she is inconsiderate, I would just shrug it off. This question is not about angry driver at all.
On the whole I think it is best to not approach drivers when out cycling.  Sometimes a 'near miss' is unintentional, sometimes it is due to carelessness and sometimes it might be intentional.  The trouble is, from a cyclist point of view it is often hard to tell which it was.  

When approaching a driver after an incident it is difficult for the situation to not become confrontational.  In my experience it is therefore safest to try to remain calm and just get on with your bike ride.  Approaching drivers after an incident has never resulted in me coming away from the incident feeling better, and has never improved my enjoyment of the bike ride.  Generally incidents result from something outwith my control, and I find it best to just forget it and get back to enjoying riding my bike
