Newton's third law in action! Motorcyclist injures himself in road rage attempt

Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Push an object with a certain amount of force and that equal amount of force is exerted on you. When you jump, your legs push a certain amount of force on the ground and that force pushes you upward. It's like communist Russia, but with physics. Rockets work on this principle too.

The video below is a perfect example of Newton's third law in action:

In an attempt to express his anger, a motorcyclist injured himself while kicking a Proton Saga that was changing lanes. From the dashcam video, the Proton Saga had indicated its intention to move to the left lane. Had the motorcyclist kept his cool, he wouldn't have had to endure such pain. keep your cool and stay safe!
