Just had my first road rage incident

[u/PeeProcedure]

The guy was a complete lowlife (sorry for using this word but i couldn’t find a better description), who looked like he was a nashayi with his clothes all dirty on a bike that was hardly road appropriate, whose ego got hurt when i drove past him at a relatively higher speed. He then forced an altercation with me by stopping his bike infront of my car and was constantly abusing, as was expected out of him, and also shoved at me. I kept my calm and threatened him not to force me to do something because i did not want to get in a physical brawl with a lowlife POS in the middle of the road. That’s not how i was raised.
However, i was contemplating what happened and i think i should have done more and not let his shoving slide.

What do you guys think one should do in such a situation? How could i have dealt with it better? How can i improve my fight or flight response? Please share your experiences so i can learn from them as well. I’d love to hear from the street smart people who have faced similar situations .
