One one hand, it's his fault, on the other hand on the scale of dumb shit I've seen people do on the roads, this is pretty low, especially given this was late with very little traffic around on a wide road. Normally I would say, 'good riddance, one less retard on the roads', but in this case I think it would be too harsh.
