road rage at its worst

i was just looking on some biking blogs and i came across a link to this forum. its about a guy biking through a busy street in one of the "nicer" suburbs of melbourne. its a little extreme what happens to him but it does happen.
the photo above is from another road rage story i came across while trying to find a photo to put with this post. this one happened in toronto. apparently it happened like this:

i did not see the beginning of this, but the report goes as follows:
motorist throws food out of window. courier, disliking littering, picks up food and throws food back in car. motorist dumps coffee on courier. courier scratches car with key. road rage ensues.

the courier is female. i 'got away' with taking pics by just doing it openly. nobody noticed me because the focus is obviously on the altercation at hand.

i followed the motorist back to his car to photograph his license plate number. he proceeded to open his trunk, take out a baseball bat, and charge me. i walked away, and was one of only two witnesses to stay at the scene and give a statement to police.

i haven't expericed too much road rage from drivers while on my bike. just one guy behind me at a red light who repeatedly honked at me to try to make me go (the right and left turning lanes had green lights but i was in he lane going straight and still had a red). i kept pointing to the red light but he kept honking and when i didn't move he started nudging my bike with his car! since no cars were turning left i moved decided just to block their lane and let the guy run the red if he wanted. turned out he actually wanted to turn right, was in the wrong lane and decided to abuse me so he could turn instead of waiting a few more seconds for it to be a green for straight and turning traffic. mostly i just experience careless drivers who cut bikes off, run pedestrian/bike lights or open doors into bike traffic). zac has had a few drivers shout abuse at him after he's knocked on their car windows to warn them as they're cutting him off or running him into parked cars and he's been chased by one guy in a truck-- zac made it down a side alley and managed to lose him but he was scared to ride home from work with his very noticable bag for about a month after that incident).
