Spitting is assault but punching someone for spitting at you is not reasonable force and it is not self-defence.

Can i punch someone if they spit on me. No1 you cant strike first. I would laugh all the way to the bank with the settlement. But the incident is going to go in my arrest report and be related during your trial.

I was wondering when someone would broach the topic. If you have other options you cant go straight to violence. Yes coughing on someone to expose them to illness is assault.

There have been numerous reports of people maliciously coughing on others. Lel its certainly justified. Second you can only punch someone if theyve already taken a swing at you or if you believe youre about to be hit.

To answer this Ill be frank. From a UK point of view you can legally throw the first punch if you feel your safety is in immediate danger. That would make you the aggressor.

Section 265 and 266 of the Canadian Criminal Code define spitting on someone as anAssault. In Canada assault is defined as the act of inflicting physical harm or unwanted physical contact upon a person. Is your phone - or any of your property on your person at any time - worth your health safety or life.

It is not justified to punch them. That way you will build huge momentum. I love it when they speed up because they see you are trying to change lanes.
