Default Broken toes. Thanks mr cage driver.

I was on my way to work last Thursday when I approached a junction on red lights and filtered between two cars to the front of the queue. There is a yellow box junction in front of me but cars comng out from the right are blocking it (clever!). So my light goes green and I wait as my exit (straight ahead) is still blocked. Unfortunatley the driver behind me thinks he is as thin as a bike and filters past me, mounting the pavement to do so but it's blocked by a bus in front. He stops his front wheel on my foot. I kindly asked the man to remove his vehicle from my foot to which he gestured rudely to me. Perhaps he didn't understand the request? He then proceeds to run the red light and drive on opposite side of road to avoid traffic blocking the box junction but forcing other motorists almost on the pavement to avoid him. I eventually catch up as he once again gets stopped behind a bus. When I catch up he then swerves wildy to make me think he is going to hit me. Miraculously his wing mirror explodes into a million peices as I gently ride past. Weird huh. Spent the day at work in agony but Friday find out that two of my toes are probably broken so have them wrapped an strapped. Bloody cage drivers eh!? Should be back riding tomorrow hopefully. Mind yer toes out there!

Did you get his contact details? I work for a car door mirror manufacturer. Maybe I could sell him a new one.

I don't like to think what I'd do in such a situation.
Hope your toes heal quick

Should have. In the heat of the moment all I wanted was his head on a stick.

I would imagine the armour on the knuckles of my gloves would be a great window hammer and the toes sliders on my boot nice denting/scratching tools.

For that I wouldn't have taken the mirror off.

I'd have stopped, removed his car keys, then taken off his head with a rusty spanner

Immediate violent revenge is ultimately unfulfilling.

All he's got to worry about is a repair bill. You've got nothing but a painful foot, and the knowledge that you resorted to vandalism (which I hope nobody saw, because unless the viewer had seen the previous moments you'd look like a right ****).
