I don't see why he would kick her motor "unprovoked" she probably got too close and scared the hell out of him, when in fear of our lives sometimes humans lash out. I've probably kicked out at one or two cars that have nearly killed me over the years, possibly done some small amount of damage, then ridden away. I'm not proud of it at all but it certainly wasn't unprovoked, and it's very different from ramming someone with a car.
Of course I do not condone hitting someone with a motorcar. But in the head of someone that has had their pride and joy vandalised by someone not looking to face up to their actions, the most unhinged/emotionally immature amongst us will feel it the only way to get a favourable outcome. I imagine several of those involved in such a judicial outcome sympathised with her, too.
I'd love to hear his account.
