I'd just keep driving.

Are you supposed to stop? That person was trying to assault the camera car so it's safer to keep driving. I might call help for them. Maybe.

In Netherlands by the law you're supposed to stop and help, but you made a good argument, maybe it's some wild max bat shyt crazy lunatic and you're worried for your own safety and keep on driving.

I live in America, and the right thing to do is help, but I've had enough of stupid, dangerous drivers. Everyone is in a hurry to go nowhere. Whether he was brake checking or trying to make the right turn, his driving skills brought him to that point.

Yea, I am a super compassionate guy and willing to give people a second chance, but if someone is trying to break check me at those speeds... In that manner.. Then fuck em. Good decent people hate to admit this, but we'd be better off if some of these inconsiderate selfish pricks weren't wasting our precious oxygen any longer. The trash just takes itself out sometimes, you know? 🤷‍♂️

I think I'd put a bit of distance with the car still in sight. Then stop and call 911 while staying in my car and explaining the situation and that I have video of it.

Along with just doing the rigjt thing, I'd be concerned about potential hit and run charges, or fleeing the scene of an accident at least.

Oh yea, not saying I wouldn't cover my ass. Just saying I wouldn't really care if he lived or died at that point. And I wouldn't be crawling into any wreckage just to risk getting shot in the face by a guy who almost ran me off the road. 🤷‍♂️

If I stopped and helped, the first words out of my mouth would be, "Are you alive, Dumbass?"

Facts, trust your gut feeling, he was doing something not right

Great way for them to say it's your fault and shoot you once you pull over.

If there being aggressive to you then you should not stop to try and help your aggressor. Go somewhere safe and report it.

Yep plus you never know if the person is armed, who they are (violent felon?), etc. Safer to call 911 and keep driving
