though i don't always manage to walk away and say nothing, often it would be the best thing
once someone has done something stupid and risky they are heavily adrenalised and probably not best open to a reasoned debate. as such anything you say is likely to provoke an argument (and I have aton of experience of this)
even simple questions such as "do you think that was a safe move" tend to get a tirade of abuse.
on a good day I just try to move on without commenting, though sometimes I fail to take the moral high ground and i do engage with them, and if so end up telling them exactly what i think of them and their driving skills - but I do realise that this will probably just have a further negative impact on them and me.
