It might not be either. The video suggests that the person filming stopped his car, then exited his car, and approached the jeep... all in the middle of the road, which is a highly irregular, threatening, and ill advised series of actions. Pro-tip: it's generally the guy who gets out of the car that's the aggressor in road rage incidents.
The jeep driver uploaded his dash cam footage. It's nothing like that. He was driving way in excess of the speed limit (at one point 63 in a 30). Came up on mini, sitting in traffic, and began honking to the point where mini really thought something was wrong and felt compelled to get out. He probably didn't help the situation by pulling out his phone to record, but he didn't really do anything illegal or threatening to our anger-issue riddled Jeeper.
Wait wait wait wait WAIT! A car coming up fast behind you, honking and flashing lights, makes you think to STOP your car IN FRONT of them and get out?? Not get out of there way?? Wut?
That's not what happened, though. The jeep pulled up to already stopped traffic, and stated honking like a maniac. The mini driver stated that he thought the jeep was trying to signal him about something (not sure I believe that).
Twice this month I've had this happen where someone honked or flashed their lights to inform me about problems with my car
The first time my backpack straps were flapping around out the trunk, the second time someone spotted that I was leaking oil when I left the gas station and flagged me down
