I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering these attacks. I don't have any advice, unless it is to say that, in my own case -- and this case is simply that of my own temperament -- I've probably been saved from beatings by having such a hot temper that I immediately go ballistic when something like that happens; this might have to some degree scared such fools off.
I recently turned 64 though, and may have to re-think this reaction and convert to a more "turn the other cheek" strategy; dunno. That would be hard. Such interactions do make me feel sick to my stomach, and leave an emotional cloud that lasts for several hours. I hate that sort of thing. I do try conscientiously not only to obey traffic laws but to be proactively courteous. God damned fools, fools for thinking that just because they drive a motor vehicle they have some sort of priority on the roads, and for getting upset because of some infinitely small interference in their drive.
