    imo you can’t really compartmentalize blame that way, OP couple still did something wrong by prioritizing a personal grievance over the potential safety of everyone else on the road, even if it’s through indirect influence on the mental state of someone who is more at fault. Driving is too dangerous to be acting like that.

      You also can’t make those two things equivalent. It’s not bad or wrong to slow down your car with a tailgater behind you. It is bad and wrong to tailgate and rear end someone.

        I’m not saying they’re equivalent, but I am saying that intentionally antagonizing any other driver in order to retaliate for something is in fact wrong.
