If a driver pulls into the passing lane or turns through pedestrians he must yield.
This case scenario is not too different, is it?
In terms of
appeasement and moral high ground, public streets have a maximum speed limit whenever applicable.
There is no minimum speed guaranteed by law.
Unless someone is fully stopped and boxed in(unlawful detainment/kidnapping), they can choose to turn around and go a different route, or just slow down and wait it out a few seconds.
New cars are quite cushy these days, so I've heard....heated seats, A/C, radio, bluetooth phone.
Sitting 10 more seconds isn't going to hurt any driver, externally.
Only the drivers frustration will hurt him.
Until new vehicles(non-police) come with an optional 'CLEAR THE ROAD' button, we just have to suffer and adapt.
