You saved your own skin, saved a lady from a confrontation with scary looking biker and rode off into the sunset.
Is your bike named Silver?

In answer to your question, I'm not sure what I'd do but I can't think of anything that could improve on what you did.
I don't deal all that well with anger; maybe trying to visualize a cop's reaction to what I'd be thinking.

The fact that the lady was taking your picture means she must have realized what she did and been afraid of the confrontation. Hopefully she'll be more aware and an overall more connected driver.

a high-five to you
