1) Driver (idiot) throwing trash out of his van/SUV
2) Cyclist (not-thinking properly) throws trash back into driver's car
3) Driver gets out of van/SUV and attacks cyclist +/- bike

Based on the infromation available I'd just like to point out...... ed: Yes ! hool deserves many thanks for this. As a male, I strongly object to other males physically attacking females. Defending oneself from a females' physical attack is another matter. This...... Todd: Litter has certainly been a problem in our city. Our mayor has even asked the citizens to clean up and made us more aware of the problem. However even with the clean up...... Both sides: I have read/heard both side of the story. Unfortunately, the "motorist's" side was stated by his fiancé and not by him, as the actual participant.
