But, But.....I thought that's how everyone acted in NOVA:cuss:And next time I'll have my sneakers on and I'll catch that piece of.... wait, that wasn't me. never mind.:banghead:
+1Get his license plate? If so you might go down to the station and see if there is anything you can do. Even if you file a complaint and nothing happens, should another run-in happen it still makes you like look like the good guy.
Also if you don't have one, get a voice recorder with a long record time. You can leave it on while you are driving in case you need it.
+1Of course, it never hurts to be armed, but if a crazy like this guy pulls you over and comes up on you (assuming he's armed with nothing but his fists) its probably best to just open up a can of pepper gas on him. Once you've got him good and spiced up like some 3 alarm chili, you can just get back in your truck and enjoy the rest of your day, knowing that he won't. Many of the OC sprays have dye in them too, which would really add insult to injury.

SNIP Man, there are some REAL crazies out there!

Yes there are. In one of Massad Ayoobs books, The Ayoob Files, I think, he relates the circumstances of several shootings for tactical education.
One of the accounts starts with a nut-case cutting somebody off or something on the road. The citizen does not become involved in the shooting--that happens a little later and involves police I think. What was memorable was that an everyday discourtesy was done by a real hardened criminal who shot it out with police just a short time later.
So, the moral of the story is that the little discourtesy or agressive driving may be indicative of a very deep viciousness.
Think about it. The really nasty ones have no regard for others. It would be just like them to cut you off, fly up behind you and change lanes just before hitting you, steal your parking space, etc.
Ever since reading that account, I make it a point to not get worked up when somebody commits a driving discourtesy against me. I leave them carefully alone.
