It doesn't matter how many people you give the finger to or how many people you punch in the face, the very next day you will encounter another idiot on the road.
All the anger isn't good for your health and will make you ride aggressively and all the face punching will make your journey time longer.
I tend to give them a beep to let them know I'm there and in built up areas, roundabouts and motorways I just expect people to do stupidly dangerous outrageous things

Sent via Crayola using the black crayon.
But the whole point is that it was a mistake. If someone deliberately tried to cause me grief I'd be more inclined to get upset about it but there isn't a driver or rider on this planet that hasn't made a mistake at some point, me included, and to escalate such an incident into violence is just plain stupid.

If someone is really driving like an idiot then get their number and report it. I know that realistically not a lot is likely to happen about it but it would be a whole lot safer for everybody than you playing judge and executioner.

Well spotted! Cheeky edit going on there.
