How should you respond when someone ‘flips you the bird’ on the interstate?

One thing you shouldn’t do is flash a gun.

A Georgia man was arrested recently by Michigan State Police for allegedly pulling a gun on a Romulus, Mich. husband and wife after one of them gave him “the finger” while driving along Interstate 94, according to a report in the newsherald.com.

The couple told police that a man cut them off on the freeway, and when they gave him the finger, he pointed a .40 caliber pistol at them.

Daniel Audrey Rykhlov, 23, was charged with two counts of felonious assault, carrying a concealed weapon and felony firearm.
