If there is no accident involved, then find a way to move out of the area. You have no responsibility whatsoever to stay and confront the aggressor.

Not that such scenarios escalate to life and death instances but in the case that you are being threatened and you are facing imminent danger, you do have a ton of steel to shield yourself or use as a weapon in dire situations.

That's what I do and luckily for the 2 times I've had to face road rage drivers who've approached me, I was able to drive away. What i worry about is if it's traffic and my car can't move.

Not the type to look for a fight, but I'll stand my ground where I must.
