The problem with a road rage incident is that:

. . . even if you're my wife's 83 year old grandfather in West Texas

• WWII Naval vet
• Korean War Marine vet
• Retired minister
• Zero arrests
• Zero traffic citations

. . . with two nuns and an Eagle scout as independent eye witnesses, the public is still going to think your side of the story is polished and that you probably had more of a role in the incident than you're letting on.

We have no obligation to retreat, but if you're in a car, it's your best bet. Deescalate. Disengage. Avoid. Record (call 911, use a cell phone camera, etc.). If you break down, get trapped, or cannot escape, come to a stop and STAY IN YOUR CAR - where the basic principles of the castle doctrine are still in play for you against an aggressor.

Stay alive, then hope you did everything in your power to stay free.
