Of the 4 occasions I recall having been involved in a road rage incident......I was in 3 of those incidents an active participant i.e. antagonist
In all 4 incidents I had the opportunity to make a the choice to continue the stupidity or to neutralize the situation by slowing down, taking an exit, pulling over and/or driving away.
And the many times I have witnessed road rage....all have had two active participants.
It would be my opinion that in many instances as soon as one party leaves their vehicle to confront the other party, the party remaining in the vehicle immediately has control of the situation.....you can drive away, or run the person over.
If by chance the person leaves their vehicle brandishing a weapon, then you might have reasonable cause for the use of deadly force.
