Finger Vs. Smile
I've found that angry gestures responded with kind gestures are fodder for disaster.
I've been in similar situations, and it only makes the angry party that much more PO'd with a smile and wave.
One of the best things to do is to do the "I'm sorry" or "I surrender" with the hands up, gesture. Psychologically, the aggressor feels like they have "won" and violence is less likely to ensue. It's hard to do, but it's all a play on emotions.
I could tell a story of road rage and a Felony conviction, but I'm not at liberty to discuss the case. Let's just say the other party got REALLY upset with the smile and wave...
