Road Rage Justice?

The recent account of a motorist who was terrorized by a road rager has caught the attention of the CHP via a Mercury News article. According to the motorist, a BMW started to drift into her lane. The driver says she "tapped" on the horn. Now, of course this is her interpretation, but no matter how long she laid on the horn, the response should not have been to speed up, cut her off and then keep slamming on the brakes--but that is what the BMW driver did, repeatedly. The point of this article is that the CHP wants people to do two things: First, when someone does something rude to you while you're on the road "let it go" and do not try and reap vengeance on the spot. Secondly, if you are the victim of road rage, report it so that the CHP can keep track of repeat offenders. Full article can be found here.
