One way you can de-escalate is to refuse to fucking use force on someone for driving a car.

It's no longer just about driving a car at that point though, is it? You don't get to just opt out of society, while using the infrastructure and services other people's taxes pay for.

Perhaps coupled with a conversational approach, and asking the person to follow you home to their residence and fixing the problem there?

No. Just no. There is no reasoning with these people, they're too far gone.
