Unfortunately, if you did this to the wrong person, you would likely
become an "emergency" yourself.  If you were still around after the
event, you would likely be charged with a felony such as aggravated
assault or something worse.

Reminds me of something that happened locally about a year ago.  A guy
did the bumper-thumper routine on someone, similar to what is described
above (although there was no emergency), and several miles down the
road, his car got beat up.

The bumper-thumper guy exited the expressway, and stopped at a traffic
light.  The other guy had followed him, and he got out, walked over to
the guy's car, and he beat his car up with a baseball bat.  Then he
drove away just like nothing happened.

If you ask me, both of them were rather immature.
