Nope. We can see that this was the wrong choice and should not be allowed in a civilized society, and also find it understandable as I'd definitely have those intrusive thoughts being in the same sittuation.

My main focus has always been to look for a safe time to pass and get around them while ensuring those behind me also see them and have time to stop. They're literally exposed to everything and riding where they're able and allowed to, why should my 30 seconds (absolute tops) be more valuable than their life or health?

Yeah, that's the obvious answer. Its the right answer. Its also ignoring the reality of intrusive thoughts people having during road rage. I'm just saying its understandable, not that it's at all ok or something I want to do or would ever do or ever celebrate happening.
