About 5 years ago on I-474 near me, a woman was trying to pass a slow moving car in the passing lane when the car she was trying to pass finally moved over the woman in the car that was passing leaned toward her passenger side and was yelling out the window at the other driver, when she lost control and hit the left shoulder her car rolled into the opposite lanes where she met a semi head on. She was beheaded. Plenty of witnesses saw the whole thing
Don't lose your head over some idiot driver.

You really have to watch for this around here. You can be going the speed limit on one lane highways and someone will pull up behind and flash their lights. If you don't take the shoulder they part the sea as they go around and cut really fast and I've had a few hit their brakes before they go on.

There were two idiots in your scenario.
The idiot who was blocking the passing lane was at the very least partially responsible for this one. (Not in a legal sense, perhaps, but at least morally)
Ah, but you say the women who went ballistic was at fault and she paid? Well what if the oncoming truck had instead been a car full of kids?
This is why I am so outspoken about people staying the heck out of the passing lane if they are not passing. And folks, if you are passing out there in the left lane and someone comes up on your tail, get out of the way! You never know what is going on in the mind of that driver. (As evidenced by the scenario in Graybeard's post)
