Well done for coping well with this situation Tommy.
I think I would have very nervously avoided this guy pretty soon after the first altercation, but I don't know, when someone's trying to do crazy shit like that, how I'd react.
I seem to have tuned in to certain attitude-y revs in Black cabs and other nutters behind me and often made sure to actually pull over and roll a fag for a minute, or crawl along to let them piss off, and if I feel threatened I would take the first opportunity to leave the main road and take a quieter or more circuitous road, being sure that they're in front of me not behind.
Your responses sound reasoned but sometimes it's just not worth it.
