I am reminded of Jerzy Kozynski. He carried a camera around and would use it in instances like this. Or so he writes.
It is pretty sobering to have someone take evidentiary pictures of ones bad behavior or illegal acts.
I personally quit carrying a fire arm in my vehicle as the urge to use it was growing.
I feel that if it were not for driving, I would never lose my temper.
It is amazing to me that people do not realize that they are in a lethal weapon when they play road antics.
I am reminded also of Hannibal Lector choosing to dine on the range rude.
There are ample herds of them.
People. The other white meat.
A word of advice from Apocalypse Now with a twist. Never get out of the car.
The heat of the moment vs. appearing on Court TV. Or being the star attraction at a funeral.

Living in California I have observed many incidents of road rage. Today was
one of the worst. A couple of drunk men returning from Stinson Beach were
following me, one of them standing up with his head out of the sunroof
yelling at drivers and jestering for them to pull over. The road was a
winding mountain road with a double yellow no passing lane the entire
distance.
I was going the speed limit so saw no reason to pull over so the drunk
speeders could kill someone, and besides there were several cars in front of
me so what would it accomplish?
Eventually we came to a crossroads and the other cars in front turned the
other way. The drunks behind me illegally pulled in front of me at the stop
sigh by crossing the double yellow line, not stoping and swerving around me
in the opposite lane.
After a while they slowed down to about 10 MPH, then came to a complete stop,
blocking the lane. If I tried to go around them they would have sped up. So
here we are sitting on a lonely country road and they they started throwing
things at my car. I told them to stop, and they started to get out (!) This
was becoming very strange very fast. I was so shocked and concerned that I
did not even see or try to record their license number. Eventually after a
standoff of about 2 minutes, someone else came by and started to pass. The
care in front sped off at a high speed.
From now on, I will carry a disposable flash camera in my glove compartment
to use to gather evidence on these asshole drivers, and will now *always*
carry pepper spray. If any drunk treatens me I will not hesitate to use it.
I am mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!!
(If I was in Texas I would get a permit to carry a gun like my parents do.
But then I might be tempted to use it, so pepper spray is probably a good
idea for California, however you never now if the other person has a gun.)
