This is a tough crowd.
Yes, tough crowd. I don't really disagree though. When you see a car where it isn't supposed to be, and it's in your way, you slow down. Maybe you couldn't stop (these cars have pretty nice brakes...), but it still would have been the right thing.

Honestly, what part of that other car's story screamed out that they're predictable and intelligent? U-turn on a 4 lane busy street at night over the crest of a hill... My first thought is to keep my car as far away from theirs as possible, because they're attempting to win a Darwin Award.
