I think a road rage incident is something most of us can identify with. I will ask an open question to the class if anyone has flipped someone off or any other gesture meant to incite? That little gesture could easily cause an unstable person to start following them and so on.
NVDR is intended to remind us of the consequences of OUR actions, we are the ones who chose to carry a gun and apply deadly force if needed.

Re: Non Violent Dispute Resolution
I feel very strongly about educating CHLer's on NVDR in a practical sense, I have tried the theoretical sense and that is tough to do in two hours so here is my two cents worth...
1. We must understand that we have to be predisposed to use deadly force when necessary, this should be a sobering realization that I will pull out my gun and shoot another human being as many times at it takes with a brutal efficiency and a clinical detachment and this knowledge makes my heart hurt but do it I will to ensure the survivability of myself, my family and in a rare case, a third person.
2. It my sincere promise this will be done only as a last resort, it will not be about a parking spot, road rage or any other of the many frustrations that we all have to deal with. I will run away if possible, I don't "flip" people off or engage in anything that may escalate the situation.
I think that teaching NVDR is the hardest section to learn to teach but the most important IMO.
