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'll tell you what Mr. Wyatt, I challenge you to a contest of driving skill duel. Since I offered the challenge you pick the test. Winner buys the loser a T-bone steak dinner with a potatoe and desert in a mutually agreeable location.

It has to be a reasonable test of skills that has application to controlling a car in a realistic test of usable road driving skills.

I don't mind you ridiculing me but really its unfair to attack my innocent little Formula Ford.

I am smiling but I am serious.
