My biggest problem I have is I never can remember or see the license in time, though I agree 100% about any driver using his car to threaten you is like assault with a deadly weapon. Its like me pulling a loaded gun on anyone whom I dislike or dislike the actions of (whihc happens many times a day) and then holstering the gun and walking away like I had the right to let them see there lives flash in front of there eyes.

The guy cut me off and i used some pretty foul language and of coarse a guy with absolutely no guts decided to come back around the block and tried to cream me. I was on a Norco Trash Metal BMX and had no fear of this idiot. The second he came around the corner and tried to hit me I hit my front brakes and did an endo kicked the back of my bike and put my pegs through his headlight and scratched his paint up pretty badly. After some intense yelling someone eventually called the police and they were there in minutes. After a half an hour of trying to calm us down which ended up with both of us in cuffs we finally got it settled. He got charges on him for Reckless driving, Endagerment to the public, Road rage and finally intentionally trying to do a hit and run with these adding up to over 3000 dollars and about another 5000 on his car i was let go and he got detained and put in jail until trail. He also now has to pay for impound fee's. Figure it's $75/ day at about 3 months and lotting fee's he got pretty much screwed when all he had to do was drive away.

I have started using video cameras for my revenge. A guy in a white SUV buzzed me on a 2 lane road so I followed him into his neighborhood a couple blocks down the road and tried to talk calmly to him. He told me to get lost, so I called the cops, showed them the video and now he has a $186 ticket to deal with. http://bikesafer.blogspot.com/2008/...d-3-points.html

Double-decker school bus - water balloon hit me in the middle of back, thrown from top window. Revenge? Very big empty car park (no CCTV), a driver aimed his car at me, sped very quickly towards me and passed me two metres (felt air turbulence) away before parking. If his passengers had thought that funny, then I would have liked to seen the passengers' faces when they all returned to the car. I hope the driver's other skills include spray painting!

A couple of young twits in a beaten up gemini (you know the type, big exaust and mags but with crappy sounding engine) who decided to come up behind me and hit the horn, scared the crap out of me. I did get my own back though, as one of them hung out the window to say "hey wanker do you shave your legs" to which my reply was "honey for you i would shave anything" which i gave in my best sterotype gay voice. The head when back in the car so fast and all i could hear was him telling his mate to get the hell out of their.

2. I get cut off alot by cars, this is especially true if i am in a bike lane. But i got my own back last summer. I was going down Jetty road in Glenelge, the road was fairly busy and moving slow but i had a decent gap between the moving cars (at about 5km hr) and the parked cars. Then some silly women decided to open a door of her car right in front of me, without thinking i pulled my foot out of the pedal and pushed the door closed. The problem was i have metal SPD cleats, and ran my foot all along her door and front panel. I decided that i would not stick around to argue about whose fault it was and made tracks

OMG, THAT'S FUNNY!!!! especially #2, PERFECT! absolute poetic justice!

the only problem i have w/ #1 is: around here, that would earn you a 50/50 chance of being run over/bumperdragged/etc.
