You don't know what kind of worthless POS you're dealing with.
They might be armed too.

Call the cops. Make them do their job.

I like the cupholder full of pennies idea. Just fire a little handful into the air and let it rain down on their car then punch it and be gone. Not that I'm encouraging retaliation...

Them = stupid for throwing a can out the window and thinking it was funny that it almost hit you.

You = even stupider for trying to escalate it.

So many haters out there. I woulda taken a pic of their plates with my camera phone and reported them to CHP for creating road hazards and vandalism.

You'll be amazed what CHP can do. A lady cut us off on a roadtrip and she was really driving horrible. A few minutes on the phone with CHP, and they had her eventually tracked down on the freeway.

Do cops actually care if they do this kind of stuff? I'm running a testpipe/loud exhaust/no front plate ... If I called the cops I'd get in trouble too XD I'll go with the penny idea except I'll carry bricks with me

Not sure if the cops will actually care about that stuff. I suppose it depends on the situation and if it actually did create any property damage or not. But it doesn't hurt to give them a call.

I'm sure glad I don't live in California any longer. Georgia may be full of uneducated rednecks, but at least we don't have to put up with this kind of insanity. Plus, I know that if I call the cops, they'll at least stop the offender and issue a warning ticket.
