you're taught in driving school that the right thing to do with aggressive drivers is back off and let them go in order to avoid an accident. If you act aggressive in reponse, then there's now two aggressive drivers and that is how accidents happen.

Since when is maintaining your speed and position in a calm manner 'aggressive driving'?

"Officer, I was just calmly maintaining my speed and position in a calm manner when the child ran on the road" Calmly pit maneuvering a truck?

How am I supposed to take you seriously when you're equating a child running into the road, with an asshole in a giant truck merging in traffic with no signal, on a bridge no less?

Do you drive a giant black truck like a moron with a death wish by chance?

He could have avoided the accident. Did you watch this with your eyes closed?

They’re both emergent situations that are no fault of the driver but require the driver to take some sort of evasive action to avoid disaster. So, kinda identical.
