Re: Welp, it finally happened.
Hmm… this definitely can be considered in multiple ways.
If the OP didn’t decide to police the road and block the guy presumably-illegally driving up the shoulder, would any confrontation have taken place at all??
I read this thing about “peacocking” years ago… and how sometimes we need to consider the goal. If I can totally avoid even interacting with a potential threat or making myself known to one, I do.
I’m interested to hear others’ views. Naturally, firstly, I’m glad the OP seems to be ok (for now). I imagine it could have been very different if the guy ran up to the window or something. Regardless of the thought of standing one’s ground etc…. I personally wouldn’t want to even enter into a potential lethal force situation where I had the opportunity to not engage with the threat at all, but knowing initially inserted myself anyway without good reason.
N.b. - Id consider defense of my family good reason. I would not consider a minor annoyance by another driver worthy tho… my £0.02…

I wouldn't go into anything else....just because the guy got tickets doesn't mean something doesn't come back to bite you...

Re: Welp, it finally happened.
I thought of everything you just said, in a nanosecond. To the right of me is a 8" concrete curb, to the left is oncoming traffic.
BOTH, of us made some real quick decisions today regarding surrounding traffic and obstacles. Was it luck? IDK,
maybe that's just the way it happened. I had no way to escape.FJB

Re: Welp, it finally happened.
Yup. But I didn't block his progress. I just didn't make room for him to get in, which he suddenly decided that he wanted to do, immediately in front of me. He could have kept going up the shoulder, but decided that i was where he wanted to go. And he became irate when I didn't let him in.
