i don’t think anyone in their right mind would PURPOSELY smash into someone - the issues it causes (insurance, legal, damages) far outweigh any satisfaction you could get out of it. now of course the person might not have been in the right mind… but still.
i’m sure there was bullshitting back and forth, both parties driving stupidly, and trying to get in front of each other or cut each other off. could dawn have cut the guy off trying to get to her turn, and he hit the brakes but ended up slamming into her? of course possible… and of course she’s gonna tell her side only.
again, he may have just been nuts and or stupid… but i’ve never seen anyone brutally bash into someone’s car on purpose.
