"Murderous action" implies a pre-meditated act intended to kill you - my argument is that this is very very rarely the case. The vast majority of bad drivers dont want to kill you or me - it is simply a momentary lapse of concentration or ill-judged manoeuvre and if it is acknowledged as such there is no need to escalate the situation to anything else. That is not the same as cycling of with a smug sense of zen calm - just an acceptance we all stupid things sometimes.
Hey, I'm comfortable with that - as long as you dont try and smash my windows in.
