This goes both ways. There are plenty of sociopaths on bikes too, and many of them would gladly have escalated that situation with fists, a gun, or a knife. The motorist is lucky the cyclist wasn't, for example, an ex-military dude with PTSD and violent homicidal tendencies who was out on a ride to find some peace. I think the message is no matter what the situation, mind your own business and simultaneously have a little consideration for others.
