Top of Park Lane 8am - I am waiting at the lights - blue BMW 330d pulls up on the inside lane. Lights change - the BMW almost takes me off trying to get in to my lane - forces me to skid/soil my trousers.
Red mist decends.
Catch him at next lights - smack his window and shout 'You’ll Fg kill someone like that you Fg C***! smack the window again and drive off.
Can’t help thinking this was a bit lame - what have you shouted in similar circumstances
Probably exactly what you said, but it would take a lot for me to actually shout at a driver.
i probably would have been so unimpressed with his nobbish driving i would have tried kicking his mirror off but then agai im not very good at getting my legs up high…
If the red mist had descended, I’d have kicked the **** out of his mirror and tried to batter my way through the window…
A couple of years ago on my mountain bike I came out with the following…
Driver of MPV who had just has his window banged on - “Oi! What’s your problem?”
Me - “You driving like a cnt, you ar$e-brained fckwit.”
Seemed to sum it up nicely at the time.
+1 he asked and you told him, job done i think LOL
When I used to cycle I was waiting in the box at the lights at the front of a two lane junction, where the left lane turns left and the right straight on. I was sat in the right-middle side of the box to go straight, and the straight on lights were still red but the left lights had just changed to green.
Billy genius in the car behind had clearly hoped to jump the queuing left traffic, jump the red light and swing left but now I was ‘blocking’ his way. Instead of waiting for his green and cutting in, he decided to force his car past my bike, whacking my right handlebar with his mirror and ripping off the rubbery end grip.
As he drove off to the left, I saw red and followed to the next pile of traffic he got stuck in. Words failed me, so I just slammed my fist on top of his left mirror, taking it completely off.
At this point it was apparent which one of us was boxed in traffic and which one could cycle off into the sunset.
I’m not one for talking to drivers. So I either just let it go… Or as happened with a Merc that nearly took me out moving into my lane, I figured he didn’t see me 'cause his nearside mirror wasn’t adjusted correctly. So I took care of it for him as I rode past… 
Had something similar myself this morning. I just let off a whole bunch of hand signals along with lots of shouty swearing. Thing is, what else can we do??? I thought about turning round going back, getting off the bike and ‘having a proper word’ but would probably have ended up with someone getting chinned. It’s very frustrating as the thoughless actions of some cagers can have massive impact on bikers.
I just let it go…more so after a friend had the sh1t beaten out of him with a metal bar for thumping a car…You never know who is in them and you can’t just assume they will be a pussy because they are driving a car…
I am on both sides here! I like to knock on peoples cars and windows as it feels good and you can basically…
BUT did meet a guy at Marble Arch who put his steering lock on full left when I knocked on his passenger side window and he proceeded to move his car left coming closer and closer to me where on my sports bike I found it difficult to manoeuvre around him.
Just make sure that you give yourself some room to get out if it all gets nasty! 
hmm yeah the fact that you are next to them is dangerous, only safe way to give them a kick is when they stop at the next traffic light or kick their rear lights. As peopel mentioned they can come out and kick your ass too, you do have time to leg it but still… depend son your gear, they can get hurt more than you can, and even if they hit you… you are fully protected after all, I doubt anyone would take more than 1 2 hits from a fully armoured biker glove to the chin.
The main issue here is that you can get done by the police, he can complain and could get another driver to be his witness… could even get someone he knows to be his witness…
Been riding for about ten years now and to be honest its just not worth the agro. There will always be other idiots on the roads no matter how much you rant and rave, and believe me ive done some ranting in the past and ahem ive destroyed a few mirrors too. Lifes just too short to be doing this on every commute.
Anticipate that they are always going to pull out, are always going to change their minds mid manouver, are always going to reach for the ringing phone, are always going to dozily drift across the lanes etc etc etc. When it does happen I now just pin the throttle on the limiter and hit the horn if needed for added effect.
Find I now get from a to b a hell of a lot less stressed. 
I like to knock gently on their windows and when they lower them calmly say “Sir/Madam, please could you pull to the side of the road and stop in a safe place so we can have a word”. Faces then go very pale as they think you are old bill. When they start doing that then ride off, the few times I have done it the bewidered look on their faces has been priceless.
BTW, giving them the impression you MAY be old bill is very different to telling them that you are, that can get you into bother.
Lol @ this one. Poss could still get you into trouble though.Most of the time I let it go but I do find the odd (odd?) primal scream emitting from my mouth when I’m really wound up! Quite effective if you are level with the driver at the time- they usually tend to back off when they think you’re a nutter 
I try really hard to (don’t always succeed) take a deep breath and let it go.
I find that if I let it get me annoyed, I end up riding for the next few miles with my concentration all over the place, my blood full of adrenalin, etc, which just makes me more at risk of not noticing the next fool who does something dangerous in front of me.
I would have taken the wing mirror off.
