Re: Pick your battles!
personally I've never felt the need to knock a mirror off or kick a car, not saying I haven't thought about it.
but logic dictates that there's every chance it will escalate. and if it does, in the battle between a car and a bike it's only going to end one way.
so either you decide to teach a driver a lesson and damage there vehicle, in which case drop a gear and disappear.....
or take a deep breath and believe in kharma........
I hope they find and prosecute the driver in the video, and I hope they do jail time for it.

It's in the US so he's lucky he didn't get shot. Getting knocked off your bike is the least of your problems over there.

As Marty points out, you're never going to win in those circumstances. As bad as that must have been, I'm glad the biker is still here to tell the tale,

Re: Pick your battles!
Bit of a sweeping statement and Hawk is right on it,
Getting shot is one thing, yes the US has a much higher gun crime rate that us over here, but if your wanting stabbed, come over to blighty and we will sort you out.
Glasgow (well central belt of Scotland) had the highest stabbing rate in Europe for over 10 years, the recent "wave" in south England is the higher than anywhere in the US and no mater what the "goverment" says, its not going to get any better for a long time yet.
Anyone with the unfortunate misfortune to be involved with road rage has 2 options: Get involved or don't.
But back to the sweeping statment. If/when we do come apart from our bikes, crumbled up in a heap in the ditch, it will only be squirles and rats that will take avantage of us in the UK, hopefully no snakes, spiders, pumas, rakoons, wolfs, bears or Bigfoots to take advantage of our bodies as we wait for help.
So yes we are fortunate over here
But if you are in that situation up in Tayside or Fife, you might be taken advanatge of by the local spinsters always on the lookout for fresh DNA......... (sorry, couldn'y help myself)
