I would have to agree with Excalibur's take on the situations as the OP describes them. Even if you the OP were totally innocent and the BG-driver totally at fault, all it takes is one witness that only saw the OP shooting and nothing else (because they simply didn't notice while they were on their cell phone) to ruin an attempt at a valid self-defense shooting.
Stop the car. Take off at the first exit that you can when the other guy is ahead of you. Have your honey get on the phone.
Above all, take steps to diffuse the situation/avoid the situation/leave the situation. It may not seem "right", but unless you plan on being the newest incarnation of the Road Warrior it is the right way to go IMHO.

Re: Pulling weapon to diffuse a road rage scenario?
If I understand other postings on this very subject, you can use the threat of deadly force only in order to prevent the use of deadly force against you. In other words, you can threaten someone with a weapon only if you are justified in shooting them.
At least that is how I interpret it. There is another thread on the subject floating around somewhere.
