XYZ- Generally people don't whip out their phone and start recording until someone else gives them the idea that a recording might be useful. If recording makes their behavior worse it just shows that it was the right move.

Since she whipped out the cell phone and started recording him it shows that there was some interaction between them that preceded that moment. We can never know what led up to that.
Read my other post regarding defensive driving. If recording makes their behavior worse (as you just said) it just shows that it can and did make the situation worse. Certainly for him, but potentially for her.
Consider this: Even though she has done nothing wrong, what if he had spun out in front of her causing her to have hit him head on, resulting in her death? Would recording him have been worth it?
While driving and confronted with a reckless or aggressive driver, I sometimes think of this classic poem:
"Here lies the body of Johnny O'Day
Who died Preserving His Right of Way.
He was Right, Dead Right, as he sailed along
But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong"
