YES. at all times. most vulnerable road user should be protected by the law. Same applies to cyclists v. cars.
IMO it's ***lucky ***that the cops were around and saw the incident. They got you off a possible accusation of assault with a vehicle. the fact that you lost it and got done for threatening behavoiur is your own fault. You did it, you got caught, pay the fine and move on.
sorry if that's harsh, but compared to a false accusation of assault and everything that involves, you got off lightly..
edit: ok that's a bit harsh. If you weren't threatening, then I would think about fighting it.
