Did this ever happen to you?

So I'm riding by my self behind a Isuzu 4x4 on Friday. It's heavy traffic and I'm on SH16 heading north. Legally you can overtake vehicles if you don't cross the double yellows and stay on your side of the road. So... I'm as far right as possible and and the guy driving the 4x4 is bang in the middle of the road, not enough room to pass. He goes a bit left and I see my opportunity and start accelerating. He sees me and swerves right immediately. I see him laughing and shaking his head. We do this a couple of times. We get to white passing lines and I go for it. As I'm passing him I get splashed by orange juice or soda drink!!

I turn my head and look behind. He's flashing his lights pointing the fingers and laughing

. I memorize his number plate pull over at the next servo and store the number plate in my phone. My head is about to catch on fire as I'm fuming like never before. Go to the bathrom clean my self up, wipe the bike up. Had enough and decide to go home.

Find out where he lives, slash his tyres and smash his windscreen.

Had objects of various variety thrown out of moving vehicles towards me before so, I can quite believe it. Enough to make your blood boil with rage. Got to give you proper respect for not going psycho and remaining calm.

I heard sugar in fuel tank is a good subtle way. Leave a note in there for the mechanic to find as well...
Might just file it to the cops

Pour orange juice into his petrol tank. then leave it as it was....... he will be none the wiser.

Isn't it difficult to get to the fuel cap though?
Or is it a quick screwdriver job?

Happens all the time. Never believe them when they pretend to move over. Hang back, and go past fast, and wide.

Use carjam or nz post to get his details and return the favour

wtf is that even legal

In Hamilton once I had a chick in the back of a car dump a milkshake out the window as I moved up to pass. She did this while miming vomiting. Well I hope it was a mime... All in the car thought this was hilarious.

I was shitty for a while but there's not much sensible that you can do, maybe ring *555 or whatever?

Had similar happen sure but I guess I'm not as forgiving/tolerant as you.

Had a bottle hit the front of my van from an oncoming vehicle, so my van + bottle = 100 - 120kph collision.
Don't think it was intentional, was dark. More likely some dumb fuck just discarding a bottle out the window. Was the work van so I couldn't chase that fucker down and return the favor.
