Meh. He was driving a vehicle, and this was a split second action/reaction. That, coupled with his age, and the disassociation between the danger of the weapon (the automobile) and a potentially nefarious outcome, would make that conviction all but impossible.

Who here does not believe that a car could inflict great bodily harm against a motorcycle? I'd argue that since he is older he should have a better grasp of the danger an automobile poses to a motorcyclist than a younger person would. He is a more experienced driver who should know better. Age is not an excuse here. Intent can be formed in a matter of seconds. All he had to think is, "I'm about to teach this cat on the bike a lesson real quick." Now proving that would be difficult but I said it would not surprise me to see an overzealous prosecutor seek those charges.
