It's hard to be cool when faced with aggressive aholes like that. You did
keep your head about you and didn't do anything stupid. The license plate
number would have been a good idea but the main thing to remember is you got
through it with out getting wacked or a ticket. You did good.
Take care out there, the world if full of wackos.
