I was going down bird street, left home at 6:36 and this was 15 minutes into the ride so happened about 6:51. I stick as far to the side as possible, the minibus taxis and I look out for each other. All of a sudden I hear this guy hooting and as I turn around this car is almost touching my right leg then speeds off (1 on the map below). I'm not sure if he thought he would get away but I also took off, went up to 40km/h (speed spike between 1 and 2 on the graph) and stopped next to him at the traffic circle (2 on the map below). He just laughed as I bashed against his passenger side window. Then drove more towards the sidewalk in an attempt to block me off. I gave up and rode off across Die Braak.
In the 7 years I have been commuting I have had a very few incidents, all of them were people not looking and in all cases they apologised. This is the first time I encounter something like that. Should I ever see that car again I will not only rearrange his mirror but give him some extra ventilation too.
@Craig I think he made it to the R44 before I did, I
got on the R44 at 7 so it could very well be the same guy.

On my way home from Woodmead yesterday, I get off at the Glenhove Rd off ramp off the M1S, stopping at the traffic light in the right hand lane as I am heading up towards Rosebank. As I am making the turn right to cross back over the highway I slowly move over in to the left hand lane as I always do because the lanes merge further ahead. As is often the case, someone who can't be bothered to wait in the correct lane getting off the M1S has turned right from a straight only lane and has to slow down to avoid hitting me before hitting his hooter and flashing his lights at me. I indicated for him to go forth and fornicate with himself which caused him to glare at me in my rear view mirror while mumbling something or other.
