Another title would be Escalated Road Rage. If I was in the cyclist's place
I hope that I would have told the motorist off, told him to pick-up the
garbage, and if he didn't report his license plate to the police. The guy
must be a time bomb if he carries a baseball bat in his car! The courier is
Leah Hollinsworth who was in a Globe article in 2005 on couriers.

i did not see the beginning of this, but the report goes as follows:
motorist throws food out of window. courier, disliking littering, picks up
food and throws food back in car. motorist dumps coffee on courier. courier
scratches car with key. road rage ensues.
the courier is female. i 'got away' with taking pics by just doing it
openly. nobody noticed me because the focus is obviously on the altercation
at hand.
i followed the motorist back to his car to photograph his license plate
number. he proceeded to open his trunk, take out a baseball bat, and charge
me. i walked away, and was one of only two witnesses to stay at the scene
and give a statement to police.
