Re: I thought it was that night
I've had a couple of incidents where I inadvertently annoyed another driver and they went into road rage mode. Both times I had cut them off due to them being in the microscopic blind spot (I drive a Dodge Magnum RT)...totally "My Bad" because I know there's a blind spot and should have done a double-check and longer signal.
Both times my attempted gestures indicating "sorry, My Bad" were ignored and they tried to chase me down (love the sign idea!).
Both times I simply floored the accelerator and the HEMI made them disappear. A 348 cubic inch V8 HEMI and open lanes is a great confrontation avoidance/escape package.
Had I been trapped in traffic or had they been able to keep up with me and started making threatening movements like you experienced (ramming attempts, etc), they might have seen my OSO (other significant other), Kimber. Ramming with a vehicle is attempted use of deadly force, as far as I'm concerned.
I think your responses were perfect for the situation you encountered.
