idk about yelling it just makes me laugh.
if he was driving slow i would have just sped off like you did.
but when he matches your speed repeatably trying to hit you then you need to stop and either call the cops, prepare to defend yourself, or both.

laws regarding brandishing a weapon vary from place to place, agreed. Either way, unless you're in immediate danger, it's illegal.

I don't think anyone here advocated just to brandish...
just that when there's a danger to life, which in this case is clear, the automated advancement of the perp would result in death.
trust me brandishing/threats are not really effective for insane people, fighting HTH isn't either.
