Your attitude is admirable, commendable and ultimately, prudent. I do those things out of a sense of self preservation. You have a better attitude. The selfishness of the other driver makes me angry. His actions say, "I'm proceeding, no matter what, and I don't care what you have to do to accommodate me. I will disregard every convention, law and proper driving technique to continue my forward progress. If that means running you off the road, so be it. Slowing down or stopping for the obstruction is not an option. I have a right to proceed even if everything says I should not."
