Excellent point.
Along with that, are those that think if a vehicle is parked at the curb in their lane, they are entitled to just go in the opposing lane until getting by the parked vehicle (so they don't have to slow down), even if it makes opposing traffic that are in their rightful lane...stop for them.
If a vehicle is at a neighborhood curb in my lane, I always ensure that there is no opposing traffic...before going around the vehicle at the curb in my lane.
Yet another example, of a plethora of examples to choose from, that proves...
"it's OK to inconvenience you, as long as I'm not inconvenienced."
