I much prefer fully separate bike lanes but infrastructure here is very ad hoc. Outside of the rich areas bike lanes are squished in wherever/however.

I have witnessed this more the once and to be honest of someone wants to throw down, that's fine as they will fight me and my claw hammer I keep in my bag.

I wonder if Sellerz would have repeatedly slapped the car if it was driven by a 250 pound male weight lifter/WWE fighter instead of a woman? I don't understand this kind of confrontive behavior. In my opinion, it is likely to facilitate driver anger and disrespect towards cyclists thus increasing the hazards for all other bike riders. You aren't "teaching the driver a lesson."
Apetimerlake, I think you have too much confidence in your claw hammer. Someone or several someones make take it away from you and insert it where you don't want it.

also im willing to take the chance that someone isnt going to shoot me over a minor traffic incident/road rage. When people get shot during road rage they are probably both getting out of their car to fight. The worst thing i would do is damage a vehicle, if he got out of the car id flee

Analogy: Let's suppose you live in a state that doesn't require a minimum passing distance when a motor vehicle overtakes you. One day a motorist buzzes you, and you catch up to them at the next light and tell them to give you more room. They start arguing with you and claim they gave you plenty of space. This is a common scenario among cyclists, and in it the motorist is unilaterally defining what is safe for another person. If you think that's wrong, then you should retract your comment about the threatening/dangerous nature of slapping someone's car.
Don't unnecessarily escalate.
Today I learned you can outrun a motor vehicle on a bicycle.
