Bad day for the innocent pickup driver, what morons.
People like that make me think that the zombie apocalypse has started.

Cager got what he/she deserved.

I don't agree with what the rider did, but to use a car as a weapon? Makes my blood boil.

I am not sure if the car driver did this on purpose or if it was due to being startled by the kick against his car.

Anyway, stay calm on (and off) the road, better for everyone!

The rider was lucky he didn't come off when he kicked the car - the effect is opposite reaction.

Getting a bang like that whilst driving one would think he'd been hit & an almost certain reaction would be a 'WHOAH' moment followed by a
subconscious steering swerve, & we can see the result.

I'm sorry but all I see is a total arsehole of a biker, he SAW what he'd caused & carried on up the road regardless of the reason, hope they managed to track him down & nail the bastard, what if that car had tipped a school bus full of kids.

We ALL have & continue to, be frustrated by others on the roads, but should give a seconds thought before retaliation, THEN kick-em!

Don't really know what happened before that, the car might have cut the biker up or anything, in which case the driver got what he/she deserved.  The person who does get any sympathy is the truck driver in front.

It's a shame . Now all bikers in her mind will be identified as mindless thugs of the road
