If she had passed and he'd just shook his head and muttered "dumbass" she wouldn't have stabbed him and he wouldn't be dead.
It takes two to tango.
I've never been in a fight. When I was MUCH younger, I've had a couple people push me or call me names. I didn't swing. I mostly just stood there and stared at them. And nothing ever happened.
I've had a couple/few folks get road ragey on me over the years, I've never followed them or gotten out of my vehicle to confront them. I've never been stabbed, shot or hit in the process.
Again, assuming the "girl" in the original post didn't stab or shoot the guy, and only did something obnoxious and/or irritating, then the guy shouldn't have gotten out of his vehicle and even if he did, there was IMO no good reason for him to get physical with her.
If someone calls you names, you don't hit them. If someone cuts you off in traffic or brake checks you, you don't hit them.
Even if they'd been at a McDonalds someplace and on the way out the door she'd poured a drink over his head and then pushed him, and jumped in her car, he still wouldn't (IMO) be justified in chasing her down and punching her.
Now, because he had to escalate and (probably) teach her a lesson (that probably wouldn't have done anything anyway) he's in a world of sheiße. Even if he's completely cleared, this is going to be costly and a huge pain in the arse for him.

Agree 100%.
I wish I could say I've never been in a fight. Won some, lost some. I yelled at a guy to "pull over!" and he did. As I was walking towards his car, this animal of a man exited his car. I didn't see that coming and he was cool about it. He would have knocked me into orbit without any effort. Of course I felt even smaller and he just smiled. Good thing for me.
Had another guy pull gun on me while we were still driving side by side. I could tell he didn't want to use it. He was older and with his older wife. What did they do to me to get me hoppin' mad? I slowed way down for a huge puddle while driving with the top down. Just as I was gently creeping through the water he came blasting by and totally drenched me and the inside of my car, which happened to be a very nice C1 Corvette.
I guess I lost that one too as I drove home to dry off my clothes and clean up the inside of my car.
You never know. BTW, I was 20 at the time. It's easier now at my age to keep my emotions in check (most of the time.)
