To help me fight off the urge to get the better of some nutcase, I start remembering what my last car accident was like. I want no part of that experience again.
I was in a situation like this before -a mofo in a 335i tailgating by millimeters from my bumper- and catched a state trooper just ahead of us parked in the emergency lane just before calling 911.

I just slowed down and parked behind the tropper. End of the stupidity.

The bad news is that I never got a chance of getting the license plate of the 335i as he just kept going after me stopping, obviously. But at least I told the trooper to tell his guys down the highway to be on the look out for a white 335i being a mofo.

Confrontation in the street/road/highway is no joke and nothing to brag about.
