Road Rage: You're Doing It Wrong!

From the Times Online

Driver A is traveling down the motorway, and Driver B's car flies out from a sidestreet without stopping. Driver A is forced onto the verge, and flashes her lights. Driver B stops, Driver A stops in front of her. * Driver A starts to get out of her car, and Driver B Rams Driver A's car.

Rams the car so hard that Driver A gets a bump on the head, and Driver B's car still runs, and the doors open easily. Driver B mashes the gas pedal and the tyres spin until they disintegrate. The wheels dig 2' into the street, throwing sparks the whole time. Something under the bonnet ignites, and the car is in flames.

Passersby tell her to get out of the car. One man opens the door and tells Driver B that she needs to get out of the car, since it's on fire. Driver B shakes her fist in the man's face and tells him to F**k off.

Driver B stays in the car. The car burns down. She's burned to death by the time firefighters get the fire out.

oooooooooooooooooookay.

I can kind of see where they're coming from, but why didn't any 3 passersby collaborate and pull Driver B from the car forcibly? Fear of lawsuits? Apathy? I'm going to go with: they were Waiting for The Authorities like good Britons.

Just wow.

Serena Sutton-Smith, 54, Driver B, burnt to death, apparently off her meds or completely insane.
Paula Small, Driver A, cleared of any wrongdoing after the inquest.
Nicholas Willmore at least tried to alert the woman to her danger.

*NOTE: In some places in the US, this is grounds for a shooting so stopping is about the stupidest thing you could possibly do, for the aggressor or the victim in a road rage incident. Maybe some time I'll tell you the story about the guy who caught a full can of bear spray instead of a bullet...
