It's possible this rider was trying to kick the mirror off.
I watch motorcycle crash-vid compilations on youtube and I've noticed that there are a fair few riders out their that like to get revenge against drivers that have done something wrong by kicking or punching their mirrors off. I wish this wasn't a thing. Yeah; sometimes drivers do some crazy/stupid things which endanger bikers and other road users, but damaging their property doesn't improve the situation and in this specific case it led to the driver raging and ultimately taking-out an innocent driver.
I rarely confront drivers about their poor driving; I only do it if they come to a stop and I sense its safe for me to stop alongside them and speak. 99% of the time I just immediately put distance between myself and the driver and keep my focus on my ride. Ultimately I'm not responsible for their dangerous driving and confronting them is unlikely to change their behaviour for the better.
