Yes.. But can I expect others on a busy road to do the same? Should I stop traffic and cause a hazard to allow someone who is driving in an unsafe manner to make an illegal pass on a two lane road? Am I responsable for that other drivers actions when he makes that illegal pass and runs someone in the opposite lane off the road? Or worse causes a head on collision? He was not paying attention when he was tailgating so why should I expect him to pay attention when he makes this illegal pass?

Nice story. At least my senario was believable.
No more than mine. But in the end, they are both just stories. Nothing more.

And the other fact is you let him run over that log, and you're lucky no one got hurt.
I was in no danger of being hurt so I guess that I am lucky, I was paying attention to the road. But that is not luck.

Pretty poor statement for deflecting the real issue here. Piss poor actually.
And what would the real issue be here? I would like to know your thoughts.
