Yet another HCW getting schooled. Sounds like a right weiner.

Everyone say that while the driver should not have thrown the litter out the window the cyclist is only provoking a situation by throwing it back into the drivers car.
Yes, I'd have been tempted to do it but I wouldn't actually have done because I have a certain degree of common sense and self preservation. Or to put it another way, I'm a wimp.

Seriously, what is wrong with some people?! Would the same person have picked up the litter and thrown it at the person if they'd seen it happen in the high street? I'd hazard a guess at not as they'd likely get filled in.
Morons come in all shapes and sizes and by the looks of the video they either wear a white t-shirt and cap OR Lycra.

I suspect that the responses to this are mostly going to be driven by the modes of transport being used by the two people involved.
I think both are at fault, the cyclist over reacted, probably because (like we all do) you hate drivers when you're on a bike and want to take revenge. The driver on the other hand has just realized how much of an ass he is and is acting on his emotions wrongly.
Love these cycling videos
When idiots collide. However, in the fairest sense of the law, the cyclist has admittedly committed the most minor common assault you could imagine and by taking the footage to the police, he's given them the evidence of him committing the offence. I hate to see people littering out of their cars, but videoing yourself throwing it back through the driver's car window is the height of silliness.
I hope the police charge the knobhead on the bike. That is clearly common assault. A fairoutcome would be a littering fine for the Corsa driver and a caution for the sanctimonious on the bike.
If you do stuff like that you surely do so knowing they might start throwing their their fists about, and you need to have something to back it up and not st yourself like a little girl when they do. Little pussy.
