Whoa... That's some serious power. Or unless the motorist was an old
lady or something lol.
edit:
In December James Michael Coffee, a 52-year-old salesman, honked from his big 1990 gold Silverado pickup truck at two cyclists who were riding in front of him in the right-hand lane around 42nd & Guadalupe. (News reports don't mention whether they were riding two-abreast or single file, but in any event Guadalupe is a four-lane road.) The cyclists flipped him off, Coffee parked his truck and got out, then one of the cyclists hit Coffee, knocking him to the ground, and paralyzing him from the chest down. (Coffee had an old injury which apparently made him vulnerable.)

I'll bet this guy is just like those a-holes that ride my bumper and honk at me for "only" doing the speed limit when I drive.
