Sorry, but I just don't see what sense there is to spitting at or in some idiot's truck. Chances are, he's now an enraged idiot. I'm just not sure what good this does, except perhaps as a momentary rage relief device. So you may feel better, but the next biker may be at additional risk.
I allot one or two cutoff instances per commute. It's all part of the game. I expect them. Not that we should accept idiot actions. But idiot actions there always will be. Better to simply move on, in my view, perhaps with a wicked look or a shake of the head.
In any case, glad to hear you made it through this event OK.
