Haven't you heard of fight or flight? In any instance where I human being feels threatened, their body acts in a way such as to find a means to protect their well being. In this case, the driver's sense of judgment (i.e. what's the safest way to flee) was warped by his urgency to flee in this fight or flight response. Why should he be held accountable for "willfully disregarding the safety of other people" when he was, in fact, willfully trying to save his own? Remember the other drivers' were driving recklessly to begin with so its only fair that he move away to save his own. No granted, passing in a no passing zone is a big "no-no"...I'd probably ask for a "failure to stay in designated lane ticket"
