I apologize, I missed two accidents. I will go back and add them. One time I turned left and a woman in the other turn lane pulled into my lane and scraped my car. I pulled over as soon as I could, she kept going, I called 911, and they said "You waved her on."
"I absolutely did not."
Another time some guy freaked out and flipped me off when I came to a full stop at a stop sign. A block later there was another stop sign and he rear-ended me. I pulled over, he yelled at me and drove off, I called in his license plate number, and they told me to wait for an officer. Half an hour later someone showed up and said "You got the plate wrong."
"Did you try..."
"Yeah, we tried."

It's ok to throw your weight around sometimes. If your story is as you say, you're justified to be more aggressive.
Someone crashed into a fence post once and was trying to start his vehicle again, and I opened his door and took the keys from him, saying he isn't going anywhere. The guy told me he fell asleep at the wheel. It was around noon, and the neighborhood he was coming from is 1 min or less from our house. Only people falling asleep in 1 min at noon are narcoleptic people. I questioned and observed him to see if he was on drugs, but he seemed straight. I gave him his keys back and told him to have a good day.
Police are last responders, not first. We're the first responders.
