I'd have just floored it at the lights and left him for dead. Conflict over.
You'd obviously annoyed him already by cutting him up or something. Then you decide to poke him some more with a stick? Not a good approach.

Does anyone really do that?
You make me angry.
Why because they received a report from a 3rd party and actually turned up to follow up? I'm quite impressed. They have no way to know who is at fault... and based on your history of always being a victim, somehow I'd like to hear the other guy's story.

I stay well back, another driver sees the conflict and gets between myself and jeep, which diffused things.
As an advanced motorist
Until I got home – 10 minutes after arriving the police are at the door, making out I was causing road rage. The third driver who stuck his oar in called the police just giving them both reg numbers, police come round accusing me of making the jeep guy angry. Which is tosh as you only make yourself angry.
Respect for the police is now rock bottom.

I find reading all Wilmsloooooooooooow's posts with the voice of Frank Spencer helps with the comedic aspect.
Oooo Betty!

Coppers last night (3D version)
I was driving home from the motorway roundabout through the airport tunnels to Wilmslow.
This guy at the motorway roundabout in a jeep undertakes, honks horn, headlights on full beam, so I stop to let the loon overtake. He stays behind me in clear road rage.
As he refuses to overtake and insists on sitting on my bumper I go nice and slow, around mid 30’s up to the tunnel.
When we get to the tunnel, jeep guy overtakes and slow down to around 20, goading me into overtaking.
I stay well back, another driver sees the conflict and gets between myself and jeep, which diffused things. As an advanced motorist I know you deal with road rage by sitting back and not doing speed. Perfectly happy with my textbook response.
End of problem.

There was more speculation from this PC and dumb PCSO with him than a company audit. Said something about road rage in 2009 on his PDA but he could not tell me about it. It is actually because I saw a road rage incident on the motorway (a truck crashed into a woman in her car shunting to the crash barrier – I phoned it in to get her an ambulance). Could not think about this on the spot, which did not help PC’s attitude.
