I've found an admirable solution to this ugly behavior.  I *always*
carry a can of eucalyptus-scented air freshener, and a cage of
starving koalas on the passenger seat.  If someone pounds on my window,
I open the window, spray them in the face, and shove a koala into
their face.  The koala scents the eucalyptus and chews their face
off.

If I'm going to be driving through Boston (not that common, since
I live in Oklahoma), I use rabid koalas instead.
