The dude even started to drive his car toward the on coming lane to cut the scooter off. The bike was not in his way that much to justify his action. Even if I couldn't have pulled the guy out or smashed a window, he'd have a heck of key scratch as he pulled away. I wear my helmet, so yeah, given the time, a window would get it... then the dude would if he stepped out of the car and came toward me. Likely the traffic would have moved on (and the assailant too) before cops could ever got there in time to interview any witnesses so I would have exacted immediate and righteous justice. Obviously I'm not PC that way..... nor am I ashamed of it in any way either.

I will agree that the car driver WAY over-reacted. And he pushed off the passenger who did nothing except ride behind.
But you're making assumptions that he swerved to cut off the scooter. He might've been swerving to avoid the scooter. We don't know where the scooter was in his lane. Might've been towards car's right. Might've been zagging around. Or car guy might've yes, been trying to hit scooter moron.
Stupid begets more stupid, as this shows. Plus road rage if you're not lucky. So please folks, don't drive stupid.

I am not sure surprised the cage driver overreacted. It was Russia. Fist fights and accidents seem normal there.

That's why almost everyone in Russia has dash cams. It's so they can prove to the insurance companies that it was the other guy's idiocy that caused the wrecks. I think traffic signs and signals are just a friendly suggestion in Russia. |

Yup. One bad turn does not deserve another. In the US, a good prosecutor could get the cager for assault with intent.
