Pish, sorry to hear about that. Some people are just utter morons, not much can be done without getting all fascist in the gene pool.
But.
I had a great incident with a van the other week, and I feel I have to share it to lighten the load of abuse on van drivers. Clearly, some of them are alright. I was a bit cheeky, ran a red light (naughty naughty etc) and had a few moments of scary head-to-head-grr with the driver of a van coming from the opposite direction turning down the same road as I was. Somehow I kinda ballsed it out and they caved and let me go. They caught up with me, window went down, I'm expecting the telling off I rightly deserve for cycling like a fool, and what did they do? Gave me a cheer and said "Yeah! Go on, girl!" or something along those lines, and then happily waved me off as I overtook them at another set of lights. Perhaps they were too nice? We need some middle ground here :P.
