If you told the average person you couldn't remember the color of the car even though you were looking right at it, they'd accuse you of not telling the truth - but you are telling the truth.

I had this exact issue once when I witnessed an auto accident in Germany. I nearly pulled out in front of a speeder who came around a blind curve (scared me too); she zoomed by and struck a truck crossing the road further around the curve. The next day I went to the police station to give a statement. I knew the make and model of the car, what she was wearing, the path she followed, what happened after the accident (she screamed at the delivery truck driver, poor guy), etc etc. But then the policeman asked me the color of her car. I could not remember it to save my life. All I could remember was it seemed dirty. After the cop asked me about three times, I finally asked him. He grinned and said it was silver, and then I could see it -- it was that dull grey silver color that BMW uses. He didn't seem to think it was a big deal that I could not remember it.

I think you done good overall.

Yes driving off would have been a good outcome if it was possible, but that also depends on the exact circumstances at that exact moment. A guy who bulls through 3x being told to back off is not really interested in discussing driving etiquette, he wants to intimidate and punish, and seems unlikely that is going to stay "verbal."

Aside from you and your family coming out safe and no legal entanglements, Another positive outcome is that having experienced an OMG moment you will likely be less amped up if something similar happens in the future.

Best wishes.
