• I once tapped the wing mirror of a car after they had over taken me to take then take a left turn forcing me into the kerb.

    The driver got out and punched me.

    There were witnesses etc, who all corroborated my account. Police advised not to press charges as the driver could press a counter charge that my tapping the wing mirror left him threatened. That he had to get out, run around the car etc did not count. He was also already known to the police.

    As such if you spat I would not suggest you are on strong ground at all.
