He is screaming at me so I give him the one finger salute. He pulls in front of me and three kids, can't be more than 3rd grade are all giving me the one finger salute from the back seat. All that to get past one car in crawling bumper to bumper traffic.
One road rage incident on the Houston Beltway, two drivers get into a verbal confrontation outside of their cars. One guy pulls a 7 iron out of his bag of golf clubs and proceeds to beat the other guy to death, right there on the side of the road.

And you remembered this incident for, what... 30 YEARS???
You gave "the salute", and it came back to you threefold.
Is that your point?
If so, it's a point well taken.
When in an encounter with an aggressive driver,
just smile and wave.
It's disarming.
Literally.
