That's exactly what gun control proponents say. Shit like this doesn't help.

That's a very simplistic notion. Ignoring a person and calling 911 doesn't do much because situations are likely resolved, for better or worse, long before police arrive.
Here's better advice.
1. Avoid causing road rage, or participating. Follow all traffic laws. Road rage is almost always due to SLOW DRIVERS, drivers cruising in a passing lane, failure to signal, failure to merge efficiently, etc. and other things that REALLY F-ing irritate people in a hurry or on a tight time schedule. SLOW INCONSIDERATE drivers are probably 50% of the cause of traffic congestion.
Don't aggravate road ragers. Today, I had a assclown tailgating me and swerving around. I simply pulled off and let him pass. Funny that we both got stuck at the next two lights within the next 2 miles. Whatever. He was in a hurry, and I let him pass.
Not justifying road rage, but there's a sense of contributory negligence. ONE slow driver in the left lane can cause 50 people to be late for work or meetings or appointments. That's a lot of really ticked off people because ONE person can't drive correctly.
2. It's a good idea to spend even $50 on a front facing video recording camera. Even better to get a second rearward facing one. This could be a life saver in any road range incident.

If someone is driving faster than me, I want him in front of me. I'll move over as soon as can and let them by. My kids will then shout "We got bait!"

Name one person whom speed has killed or even injured.
