You guys have got those hard core anti road rage laws now dont you? My dad told me he went over their and people actually let him in and stuff.

Probably a matter of time before the same laws come to NZ. Just like the scare campaigns on T.V. Aweful to watch but very effective.

Sounds like you handled it perfectly. The situation was resolved with; no one hurt, no damage to property, and no laws broken.

BTW, what was "the last court case" you were referring to?

Russle,

I agree that you handled it quite well.

I could only speculate how I would have handled it based on my impression of the 'antagonist'. Since I wasn't there, I can't really say. Basing it on what you have stated, I can say I would have acted the same in staying with your girlfriend until the threat had passed and taking the vehicle info in case of future conflict. Also, I would not have facilitated violence by making any agressive 'threats' (I would be prepared for violence, though), and used assertive 'threats', as you did.
