I disagree.

Anyone wanting to place blame for the road rage must first thoroughly examine the circumstances that led to the action of the road rage. Frank has researched this as thoroughly as reasonably possible and concluded that it is appropriate to be in the left lane when making an upcoming left turn, especially when already exceeding the posted speed limit, which is a limit imposed assuming ideal conditions; slick roads requiring a reduced speed.

Regardless, people are responsible for their own feelings and especially their own actions. Even if the person in the left lane were doing half the speed limit, and we all agreed that she should move over, it is the responsibility of traffic behind her to manage emotions and to safely overtake the vehicle. Any disagreement with this is simply wrong.

The fault for the crash rests 100% on the shoulders of Mr. White. He demonstrated that a safe pass could be completed in the right lane, but choose to act out in anger, completing a second unsafe pass.

Feelings are always 100% the responsibility of the person doing the feeling. There is no action in the world that can make you feel a certain way and then force a reaction.
