Would You Call The Police?

During my morning commute today there was a guy in the passing lane doing 55 with a long line of cars behind him riding his rear. I passed him on the right and as I go past him I see him give me the bird, like I'd done something wrong. He then speeds up next to me, makes his hand into the shape of a gun, and "shoots" at me several times.
I know it wasn't a real gun and it was the same as flipping someone off, but it was disconcerting. It felt almost like he had a real gun in the car and was warning me. I took the first exit just to get away from him. I wanted to call the police but thought they'd laugh it off. Now at the office others are telling me I should have. Would you have? |

| No. It wasn't an actual threat and you initiated the interaction. |

| No I would not call the police because someone made a finger gun at me. |

Sorry, I misread that you had flipped him off. I still wouldn't have called the police. |

| I wouldn't have called the police but it definitely would have rattled me too. |

| Without even his plate number there is not much point. |

| No, just get away from the guy quickly and move on. |

| Probably the next mass shooter becoming more and more unhinged. |

Do you have his tag number? In the moment would’ve been the time to call if anything.
Hours later? Not much could be done I think. |

| The police wouldn't have done anything. |

| I'd have pulled out my actual piece and shown it to him, smiling all the time. |

| Wut are the police going to do? Seriously the questions on this forum are beyond ridiculous |

Assume every other driver is armed. Assume every other driver has a short fuse. Don't mess with people on the road.
I think you should drop a dime on him. |

You need dash cams in your car and make sure that you are always recording.
Also, agree with others, yield to other people, let the crazies go their way, do not engage. |
