When I was younger - much younger - I met challenges like this a couple of times by administering an attitude adjustment. Which on reflection was . . .

STUPID!

I'm lucky I didn't get hurt, or in serious legal trouble.

Now, on those very rare occasions when a road rager directs his ire at me, I smile, shrug, wave, and make the horse's backside think I'm apologizing for whatever he thinks I did. This is Texas, where people carry GUNS . . . which makes picking a fight with a stranger the mark of an IDIOT. I don't care what IDIOTS think of me, my honor, my driving, or my manhood.

If the IDIOT road rager goes away thinking I'm a wimp, fine. NOT having to use deadly force to protect myself or my passengers is a GOOD outcome . . . and if I somehow DO need to use deadly force someday, I'm going to be darned sure I did nothing to escalate things - ALL the escalation is going to come from the IDIOT.

As already stated . . . simply driving off was an excellent response, no matter how much the IDIOT deserved a thrashing.
