“if you don’t leave now I’m going to hurt you”.
I think this tells us all we need to know about his views on the highway code, and humanity, decency, empathy, fairness...
Perhaps there should be a section in the driving test, like the eyesight requirement, that weeds out people with psychopathic disorders.

I had this happen a few months back. Car flashes it’s light to let a transit van turn right across our path. The transit turns and just barely misses hitting me as I swerve. A pedestrian stopped as they saw it happen and shouted “Jesus that was very close!”.
I asked the van ride wtf he was doing turning right in front of me. He told me “he had right of way because the car flashed its lights saying he could turn”and “if you don’t leave now I’m going to hurt you”.
He just saw the car flash it’s lights and didn’t even bother to check to see if it was safe to turn, he just went for it.
I thought driving lesson 101 you learn if a car flashes their lights at you isn’t a signal that is ok to turn.
