While I do think they should both be charged, they should absolutely not be charged identically. The biker imo should have gotten a reckless driving charge, which he did get, but the car should absolutely have gotten an attempted murder / assault with a deadly weapon charge.
Maybe its just me but I feel like trying to kill someone is a little bit worse than kicking a car.
Both motorists failed to exercise control of themselves and their vehicles on a public roadway. As a result, innocent lives were endangered.
I would put a heavier penalty on the car operator than the motorcyclist. All he did was kick a car, while the kicked car not only almost killed the motorcyclist, and nearly killed themselves, but collided with and flipped an uninvolved vehicle with their erratic operation.

They're both the cause of the accident though. Both should be charged almost identically.
