It's a tough one. The incident described would have made me furious. Once I was driving cab, had a big guy in the back seat, sorta dozing after a night on the town, a Lincoln Towncar or some such cut in front of me flagrantly and I had to hit the brakes. The guy slid off the back seat and banged his nose on the back of the front seat. He was pissed.

The two frat boy looking pea-brains saw this and squealed like little girls about it. I wanted to bash them, especially after the tough guy blamed me for it and stiffed me on a $10 fare. I called the dispatchers who called the cops, I stood guard with my 5 D-cell flashlight telling the guy to wait in the cab, which he did surprisingly. After 20 minutes or so I said F-It; what was I going to do, wait 2 hours or bash the guy with my flashlight/club and land in jail?

The guys I really wanted to bash were the pukes in the Towncar. Still, taking revenge can yield grief. Tempting, but it's trouble.
