First, try letting the person pass you and go on their way. Don't engage them in any way, shape, or form.
If the person is following you, then you can try calling 9-1-1, and turn off and try to find a police department. At least, go to a very public place. |

EVERYONE is a POTENTIAL victim. If you spend all your time worrying about what might happen, you'll never get anywhere in life! |

Wave at the other party and mouth the words "I'm sorry." Slow down.
Even if you're not the one at fault, that generally makes the agressor ease up. |

put your blinker on and change into the right hand lane. then put your emergency blinkers on and slow way down. let the moron pass and pick someone else. they're usually in a hurry anyway and will be happy to pass you. if it turns ugly and you have a cell phone call 911 and let him see you doing it. do not stop or attempt to confront this individual. don't let the situation push you to the threshold of your own lack of judgment. |

You'd be surprised at how well "Stuart"s "Im sorry!" defense works. You have to choose whether your pride or you safety is more important. Letting an aggressive driver "get away" with it and go away is a LOT safer than standing your ground and getting into an altercation.
Remember, it is NOT your job to right all the world's wrongs, especially when the weapon of choice is a 4,000 pound automobile. |

Report it at the scene of the accident. Or call 911 to report the driver and car(tag info helps). After that get over it. |

Get as far away from the other person as you can. |

it takes two to tango. worry less about the other person and more about what you are doing. It is always best to not escalate |

call 911 if you have a cell on you or drive to the nearest police station. if they back off try to get a plate number and report it to the local police or state asap. |

Memorize the license plate and call 911 if you truly believe you could be threatened on the roadway. Where I live, a few months ago, a man was killed on the highway after trying to avoid another driver who was chasing him because the other driver didn't like the way he made a lane change. He hit his car and they both had a head on collision with someone else. Fortunately, the law is beginning to take these incidents more seriously. |
