you're almost well protected from his head shots... he'll probably brake his fingers trying to punch your helmet.
you can take out his hose with your helmet pretty easily as well
What the worst you've done...

Without a witness to back up the claim, you're SOL. Its your word vs his, no visible damage on the bike or marks on the car. Nah, vigilante justice is far better in situations like this.
That is why you wait for him to start to open his door and when he is half way out of the car you kick his door in on him. Much Much better. I did that to a guy who tried to steal a wallet of CD's at a house party only to get caught listening to them in his car while still at the party.

Smashed the driver's side mirror off a car that swerved into me to go around a stopped TTC bus, nearly pushing me into oncoming traffic. The lady starts tailgating me and I switch lanes and flip her the bird. Further up the hill, a cop with a radar gun saw her trying to run me down and pulled her over. I stopped to let him know what happened.
Couple of months ago, I went to court for this as a witness from the cop's side. Got her an improper lane change and reckless driving charge (6 points I believe)... and I walked away a free man (thank my lucky stars I guess
)

surprisingly, not had anything real bad yet on the bike...one time when i was in a lineup at costco with my helmet in my hand and a lady lightly bumped her cart into me and tapped my helmet, when i looked back at her she was really apologetic when she saw me checking my helmet...although i did have one guy pass me in my lane once while i was in the left lane going along bloor, but too much of a noob to try anything while on the bike, he was just some douche cutting his way through traffic...since i now do most the cutting through traffic on bloor i don't care...

Im thankful I haven't had to kick anyones mirror off. But I have given the finger to some drivers. Going North on Yonge, guy starts changing lanes without indicating or checking his blindspot, right into my space! I had enough time to react and slam on the brakes and let him pass since he wasn't going to change his mind. When I got to the next light I pulled to the right side and of course the douche bag is on the phone! I was wearing a half helmet so I made eye contact with him and pretty much said "Get the f off the phone ahole!" while giving him the flippin bird and all he did was just smile and wave at me. Almost like he had no idea what the hell im complaining about.
Sometimes the idea of using those ball bearings or spark plugs sounds tempting!

Kicked a guys side mirror off once. Then calmly handed it to him. He yelled "what the F was that for" and i reminded him that he was not using it.
Dude almost ran me into the concrete on the bayview extension offramp where there is no shoulder as he was busily talking on the cell and waving his hands in the air. Saw it comming at the last moment, and hit the brakes. Hard. At Castle Frank he got his. Long time ago. Would never do it now.

I laughed when I read that "handed it to him" remark. How hard do you have to kick to actually get a mirror off? do most people do this at a red light or something? witnesses?

I would have paid to see that happen. lol
So far nothing has occured on the bike to cause any anxst. I did beat an ex-boyfriend repeatedly with an old rotary dial telephone when I caught him in a hotel with another girl and her gas tank got the standard sugar treatment. I'd be lying if I said I felt bad about it.

Worst so far was a guy who shared my lane to drive past me on a side street..i happened to catch him at the next light and put some dents in his passenger door woth my boot...he just sat there with a stupid look on his face.....
Baby I know I made some mistakes, do you think we could try to patch things up? Nobody has a rotary anymore
+1 on it going nowhere without a witness. Had this happen to a friend, cop wouldn't let him press assault charges.
last season a stupid blonde on an caddy escalade cut me off and showed the finger when i complained, i slammed her driver mirror off... she tried to catch me... but no luck
she deserved it
You must be a contortionist... how on earth did you get your foot that high while riding and not lose balance? (Not saying you didn't/couldn't do it or anything, just wondering how you pulled it off...)
to original poster the quote above is the example to confront a situation. You lost points on me for "weaving" which I see as inciting road rage. Great you're going just above the speed limit but who's to say others should obey the speed limit but the ones that have been given authority to write traffic tickets. If he want to be a dick and speed let him by. I'm sure he can stop at the crosswalk. Not hard to see beyond a bike and going 30 or so mph.
It was a kinda "just stared at me in disbelief" thing. He knew. I got him at a red yea. And you dont have to kick all that hard. I'm pretty sure they are fortified to absorb shock from front to back. Not back to front. This one was not mechanical either, so there were not wires and all that. Came clean off. The witness thingg did not even occur to me at the time. Coulda gone sour for sure.
Pretty satisfing i must admit. Anyone catch the story of that courier who tossed a "discarded hamburger" back into a minivan in Kensington a few years back. I'd still like to buy that chick a beer.
LOL...no they won't .
Cop will phone him - Did you hit a bike
Cager - No
Cop- Are you sure? We have some witnesses.
Cager - No, wasn't me, I don't know what you are talking about.
Cop - OK, bye
He'll never hear from the cop again.
