I tend to spend more time looking at the road than into peoples' cars to see if they're texting/on the phone. Most of the times I've had close calls have been people distracted in one form or another... usually a cell phone. I give em a look, sometimes flip them off, and ride out.
The one time I was going to kick a car for stopping at an intersection suddenly because they decided they wanted to make a left turn from the main lane I couldn't because there was a cop right in front of me.
Like most people have said, it's a losing battle. If you get someone angry enough, they'll do exactly what that lady did in the video posted in the first page. They won't even realize the severity of their action until the anger was worn off and you're under their tire. My bike is loud so I try to make my presence known. If that fails, I bail and leave the problems behind so cages can duke it out among themselves.
