The younger man is clearly confronting the older man, jumping up and down and appearing to challenge him to a fight. While he is bouncing around and yelling, the other man simply stays standing where he is, hands still in pockets, not responding with any aggression. The younger man frequently gets close to him, in what looks like a blatant attempt to provoke the other driver.

Staying Calm

The older man is seen talking to the angry driver, although it is unclear what is being said. He stays standing where he is until the angry driver, still bouncing around and challenging him, realizes the fight is not going to happen. Finally he goes back to his car after shouting at the older man one last time.
