Would you really hit someone, injuring them and probably causing several
hundred quids worth of damage to your car, when you could just brake
and swear a lot instead?

I wouldn't hit them if I could help it

And neither would almost anyone else. They don't really have time to
think about it, they just reflexively brake and steer. It's not until
the bike's past that they've time to get angry and shouty.

Even the ones here claiming they would are I would bet all mouth and no trousers if it came to it.
