    Default Assaulted in the Middle of a Road

    My question involves injury or loss that occurred in the state of: California
    Hi, well today on the way to the gym i was getting on the freeway as i was trying to get on there was this guy in a SUV speeding up not letting me get on the freeway almost pushing me off the road into the wall, luckily i got onto the freeway without hitting the wall, so i went ahead and got in front of the guy that wouldn't let me on, i got off the freeway and so did he. he was following me down the road and we were in front of a middle school and we had to stop at the children's crossing, he jumps out of his car comes to my window and sucker punches me right through the window so of course i jumped out of my car and shoved him and started yelling at him as why the hell he just did that but we were in front of a middle school which had just gotten out parents were waiting for there kids and some guy was yelling that he was going to call the cops and i said well do it cause this guy just sucker punched me in my car and the guy walked to his car, i wanted to whale on him but knew not in the middle of the road in front of a middle school so i followed him down the road and took a picture of his license plate right before he turned. so know I'm wondering do i have a assault case? i didn't nothing to him and he just came to my window and punch me right in the mouth. i also believe a lot of stuff that happens within 100 yards of a school is doubled or something. any suggestions?

    A couple:

    First, when someone is driving like an ass, don't be an ass yourself and race to get ahead of them. Not only does it tend to escalate the situation, but someone in FRONT of you can't rear end you OR follow you off an exit ramp. The safest (and smartest) place for you to be is BEHIND them.

    Why didn't you call the police immediately? Immediately being sometime in the five hours between school letting out and you posting this on the internet? At this point police are left with your photo of a tag, and your version of the story. They're not going to try to investigate to find every possible witness (parents, students, teachers) at the school the next day. They may or may not take a report, but the delay in reporting isn't going to be helpful to any action against the guy.
