What WABA wants is a new civil suit. This is just donuts for personal injury lawyers. You **might** get this driver in some sort of criminal assault case, but I don't think it is likely. Hitting him with an aggressive driving charge would stick much easier.

Why on earth not? And if not, isn't that evidence of a massive shortcoming of existing law? I'm not proud of it, but with the current legal protections, if this guy pulled this trick with someone I was riding with, and I managed to catch him at a light, I'd beat him until he was a thin layer of sauce on the pavement. It's only the idea that the justice system might provide some recourse that prevents vigilantism.
