What do you do if your friend mentions something illegal on the phone?

Answer: Start breathing heavily and suggestively into the phone … (not!)

Better answer: Talking about something illegal is a crime called "conspiracy," and people are arrested and indicted almost daily for the crime of conspiracy. The only way to avoid arrest and indictment for wire fraud (at a minimum), and any number of other charges relating to the actual suggested conduct, is to rebuke your friend immediately. If you even joke that you might agree to participate, you can and will be indicted, depending on who is listening, and then you're forced to tell a jury one day that you were only kidding.

What happens if I get into a fight in traffic?

Answer: You get the hell beat out of you, unless you can fight real well. Seriously, this is a very bad idea, since people are getting shot and killed in these road rage incidents all the time these days. It's a very dangerous world we're living in today.

The legal answer, however, is: If you are in a "road rage" situation and you so much as put your hand inside the other person's car, it is a felony called "Burglary of a Conveyance." Putting you hand on the outside of their car is not a crime, but if your hand "breaks and enters" the imaginary plane or airspace within their car, that is considered under the law to be "breaking and entering," otherwise known in Florida as a "burglary." And, if you touch the driver (or anyone in that car) against their will, the felony is then upgraded to "Burglary of a Conveyance with a Battery," punishable by 30 years!
