Let me restate. If Carlton drove over that log because he knew that his 4x4 could handle it and it looked like fun--then no, he was not being aggressive. If Carlton drove over that log because he was fucking with the Bimmer driver and knew that it would cause problems--then yes, I consider that aggressive. And, if in fact this was Carlton's thinking, then his actions clearly set a chain of events in motion that could have potentially resulted in a more dangerous road incident.
From a legal standpoint, Carlton is not to blame. But one would argue that he showed bad judgment in doing what he did (if in fact he did it with ill-intent). Only Carlton can tell us what he was thinking at the time. Now...if Carlton's actions were innocent, he has every right to gloat about that idiot Bimmer driver who, because he was in a rush, clearly "followed the leader" and underestimated the abilities of his own vehicle.

Carlton was in no way driving aggresively. had a minivan full of kids hit the BMW, it wouldve been a)The fault of the BMW for not allowing proper following distance. and B) The fault of the minivan for not allowing proper stop time. Either way Carlton is not at fault.
