I regularly tell drivers...Don't piss off the cyclists...they laugh when I explain what happens...They think I exagerate

As I expected he deliberately lunged forward to block my path (or more likely to hit me) as I approached. Fortunately for me he didn't have enough room in front of him to fully block me... and I was anticipating the move. I landed a perfect punch to his rear view mirror and smashed it as I went past. It folded forward right around and hit his windshield.

Footnote: Don't try this unless you're wearing a stury pair of gloves. I use and highly recommend these. There's a lighter model I use in summer.....
