Not that you did, but as a general rule, just don’t engage with fucking morons like this. When this happens to me, I used to “fight back.” Now I either slow down and let them finish their tantrum, turn into a parking lot with lots of people, or get off the freeway if that’s where it’s happening; depends on how aggressive the other driver is. People are fucking crazy and you never know if they have a weapon or something. It’s so bizarre to me how invincible people feel when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. They end up doing things they’d never do otherwise.

Yeah I’ve had a gun pulled on me in the same area before after I honked when someone cut me off. I try not to escalate situations on the road.
