I was driving today and came around a bend. A car coming the opposite direction was illegally (double yellow line) passing a semi. He made it but I had to slow a bit and veered slightly onto the shoulder.
I then thought "Damn! I should have floored it and veered into him instead of the shoulder. CTB!" The semi and other vehicles would almost certainly have crashed as well due to the speed of traffic. Plenty of witnesses would have seen this "accident" and vouched the other driver was clearly reckless and at fault. And if I'd survived I'd have a nice payout though likely extensive injuries.
Of course I reminded myself of my belief only one person should die in a suicide. My actions are mine alone and no one else should be forced to unwittingly hop the bus with me.
But yeah, for a moment I thought, that would have been so convenient.
