When you have folks that are oblivious to cyclists safety they can kill you with their SUVs. Can anyone blame the OP for merely spitting on the obliviot motorist? She can wipe the spit off and be on her way...no harm done. She hits the cyclist and he would much rather trade his injuries for a little spit. Quit being a bunch of pansies. And for the dude who would reach for his gun...what a cowardly thing to do. You have to resort to a deadly weapon because you can't handle the confrontation without your seciurty blanket. You wouldn't shoot so why pull it out?
