One thing I have noticed in this thread and the world in general is this idea that if someone does something to piss you off, the best thing is to do something to piss them off in return even further.
Why is that a good idea? Is a slightly bruised ego from someone you'll never see again worth escalating every time? What would this redneck have done if the person in the next car wasn't an inbred woman with a cellphone and instead was an unstable person with a gun? What if they'd wanted to escalate again in kind? You guys with a wife and kids at home, is that a gamble that you joyfully make over someone going 5mph too slow in front of you for a couple of minutes...?
Doesn't make any sense to me.
