Isn't that the whole point of having vehicular traffic laws and the enforcement of them? I would expect that the outcome for him will be both expensive and painful, and deservedly so.

I don't see shaming, public or otherwise, having any effect on this dude. In that case you couldn't call it "shaming," he'd be having too much fun, prancing up and down waving his "I'm an @$$hole driver!" sign.

No, he might not. He damaged his truck, and according to news reports, he's now in trouble with the law, having been arrested. Being "arrested" literally means he's been slowed or deterred from continuing his prior behaviour. The law imposes that impediment on him without any further punishment from an outraged public. And he must appear in court and/or pay a fine.

And giving people the finger, of course.

Well, Mr. White and Frank Lee are on record as being of the same mindset about doing that, namely exhibiting an obscene gesture as a sign of retribution. Mr. White actually did it, and Frank is on record as craving to do it in return, in retribution.
Road rage? We all become angered at times and we think about acting out on impulse. Some people act upon their emotions, and some don't.
That indicates the level of emotional maturity of the driver. Unfortunately emotional maturity has little to do with anyone's chronological age.
