A local farmer, who lives 2 miles from me, was hit head on by a driver passing multiple cars in a passing zone. Needless to say, the innocent farmer died and left behind a widow and a few young children to now run his operations. The driver of the minivan spent a couple of weeks in the hospital and is ok.
It sounds like the op wants justification for his irresponsible and reckless actions from the peanut gallery here, it looks like he hasn't garnered much support if any.
Sounds like the op needs to spend more time honing his driving skills, in the real world and not in the seat of a pinto powered go kart.

I had a close call similar to that once. I was headed north on NV 431 toward Mt. Rose summit and doing about 90. I encountered a silver Audi in my lane headed south passing a slug. I braked, scrubbed off about 40 mph very quickly, and was considering taking it to the shoulder when Audi got around slug and back into his lane. In this case, no harm, no foul. Sounds like in your example the guy picked the wrong time to pass.
