shout abuse at cyclists whist you are stationary at traffic lights then
a) don't pick on the 6'4" one who has already had a bad day (and you'd already cut up)
b) expect them to stop, turnaround and come back for a chat (never seen a window wound so fast back up again)
c) sheepishly look away
d) don't be surprised when said cyclist opens your door and invites you to repeat what you've just said.
And relax......
I thought drivers were invincible when in their cars? At least that's the impression you get...

Poor guy I feel sorry for him, no electric windows and no automatic locks.
Bloody cyclist pay no road tax.
Wot, you didn't take their [s]rattle[/s] keys off of them? 😉
The b*stards not paying road tax,using our air, polluting with their rego induced farts.

Lol, I saw that happen once. A couple of awesum drivers got into a bit of an argument behind me at some lights. One got out of the car, went over and quick as a flash had his keys out and launched them into the adjoining park....
breatheeasy, so could it be you commuting to work this morning in Brum then, steel road bike, car was a old Honda something?
If it was you, I was following you about 50 yards behind and yes I would not mess with you either.
Made me giggle mind 😉
A mate got goosed by a car passenger which obviously gave the rest of the occupants a real laugh. Unfortunately said mate is a rugby playing 6ft 4 police officer, who caught them up at the next lights. Amazing how people can sink into their seats looking straight ahead, and suddenly go deaf regardless as to how much someone is banging on their car windows.
Which road was this breatheeasy? 😀
On the positive side, I was winching my way up the 15% hill on my commute home (39:18 on the commuter CX) at about 1 rpm when the bunch of lads in the following Golf started cheering and encouraging me, then followed up with a round of applause when I crested the top of the hill 🙂 Cheered up my day that did!
It's not all abuse from cars at least!

So what you're saying is that he's had one too many bangs on the head and this excuses him from commiting breach of the peace despite him being a police officer?
Also, wound my windows down to tow a load of old boys up winnats pass before after one cheekily asked for a lift. Shame bastard reached in & robbed me tunnocks caramel!
I hope you weren't riding 2 abreast, tut tut if you were
Love a bit of ultra-violence.
Was it the guy at the beginning of this vid? cos he's having quite a bad day as well... the twonk. Why do cars make people such bellends?

...this is a euphamism 😛

Not very wise. You are now clearly the aggressor, and the victim may decide they have no choice but to pro-actively defend themselves if they fear attack is imminent, and of course they are legally entitled to do so.
Was it a bit like this?
