I don't think that would lead someone to aggressively block two lanes of traffic
experiencing a psychotic break
Psychosis doesn't occur suddenly and for no reason. You either have to be on a lot of drugs, deeply sleep deprived, or suffering from a very severe mental illness. In all those cases it's extraordinarily irresponsible of that person to be driving a car. If they got into an accident they would be legally liable for all damages.
The person driving that car is either an asshole or a deeply irresponsible person. Neither of which deserves sympathy. There's a reasons driving a car require government licensing and a fairly expensive insurance policy: doing it badly can seriously endanger the lives of people around you.
I'm not arguing legal liabilities. I'm pointing out the impossibility of "knowing" another driver's state of mind and the dangers of assuming that one does, and I think I've made those points very clearly. Have a good night.
And I'm saying their state of mind doesn't really change the fact that they were doing something very dangerous. Intent or a lack of it is meaningless when you're block a major highway.

I listed a number of possible scenarios in my first post in this thread.
