Glad it worked out.
When you're in your car, sadly, you're a sitting duck. Situational awareness and defensive measures and a loaded handgun are among your only weapons.
You had great alertness and didn't have your eyes buried in a gadget. That might have saved your life or yourself from a carjacking.
It's wise to also keep distance between you and other cars so you can maneuver from a stop to get out of a dangerous situation... could be anything.
Carjacking, car accident, random highway shooting, or something unusual and dangerous. This video from Youtube shows a propane truck following too closely. Thankfully the driver filming gave plenty of space. But can you imagine being in tight traffic and being 5 feet behind this?
