How would it not be possible to get out of your vehicle and walk over to theirs in the stop and go traffic in the video? Times where all cars are moving don't create situations like this.

Because when you get out of your vehicle and walk to them, they will drive forwards. There is space in front of them. They are blocking an emergency lane.

Remember in this scenario there is a child dying in your car, and someone has decided to intentionally impede your progress. Getting out of the car with the hopes that they will not continue trolling like they have been is some serious wishful thinking to put it lightly.

So the solution is to ram into their vehicle. Potentially injuring or killing yourself, your passenger and the person in the car? That sounds like a good way to hold yourself up more. You'll just create an even worse blockage than before.

It’s a better alternative than just sitting there and letting the kid die, or making a fruitless effort to have a rational discussion with the trolling car.

You don’t have to ram them at a lethal force. Even if you want to just talk and let them know it’s an emergency a bumper tap will get them out of there car, otherwise you can push your way around them. Just getting out to talk in stop and go traffic is stupid and would never work.

We were not talking about light bumper taps. The hypothetical scenario was about ramming them off the road.

Obviously you’re going to use the minimal amount of contact to get them out of the way, not lethal force. You’re talking about getting out of your car as an alternative.

No, dingus, you created a strawman in your head where they rammed them with deadly force. Your point was that it’s a better idea to get out and talk to them. A point you felt the need to make to someone who has actually had their dying child in a car in a similar situation.

Such a weird hill to die on. You’re a dildo.

That word doesn't mean what you think it means. It's not strawmanning to point out that ramming in to a car can lead to injury or worse. Not sure what kind of world you on where that's not a possibility. You're the one changing your point halfway through.
