Would it be wrong or justified for a motorist to physically beat another driver black and blue, for ramming his car from behind on the highway?

Considering the damage the other driver did to his vehicle.

And would other drivers pull over and cheer on the aggressor?

[jshm2]

Sure. He's going to pay though the nose for the next 5+ years, and maybe get some prison time anyway,. So he might as well get his moneys worth.

Safe driving doesn't mean you drive like a geriatric.

It is wrong, never justified, just do civil action as exit wrote here.

If hit then the other can do civil court stuff, so we all must be civil.

People like their vehicles. Humans are imperfect. Mix and match variants you get viral video.

Is either one of them wearing an animal costume?

[slatyb]

No, it wouldn't unless the other driver were threatening to assault him. If he's in fear of being assaulted, he should call the police.

Completely wrong, illegal, and very dangerous in that you do not know what the other person has in terms of self defense - like a pistol or knife. Just get the license number, call police, and stay in your car.

That would be unjustified. It's just property let alone insured property.

No, its better to get a lawyer and claim some soft tissue damage and get a nice settlement.

That is insanely wrong to beat anyone for an accident.

I say that as someone who actually was rear ended on the highway.

[Redstang88]

Maybe the odd traffic beating would cause people to pay a bit more attention….

[Anonymous]

In general I would say yes, definitely wrong. But there's not enough information here to really understand the situation.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Yep, totally wrong.
