Both were equally responsible.
If you feel there was a conflict between two different aggressive driving characteristics, which ones came into conflict?
VS
This article doesn't give enough information to make a clear determination but it appears as if Ms Foster was acting out of either the Vigilante or Passive Aggressive characteristics. Ms Henson may have been acting out of genuine fear for her life or as a Passive Aggressive.
Ms Henson was apparently tailgating at first which may have been an error of not paying attention or deliberate, but when Ms Foster started throwing things and brandishing a weapon, Ms Henson probably aggravated the situation by staying behind her and flashing her lights instead of slowing and putting more distance between her car and Ms Foster's car.
While it appears that Ms Foster was primarily responsible for the final tragedy by getting out of her car, Ms Henson shared responsibility for grabbing her gun and rolling down her window instead of reaching for her cell phone to call the police.
Both drivers had numerous opportunities to bring this incident to an end before it escalated to the final tragic outcome.
If there was a conflict here, it could have been Vigilante VS Passive Aggressive or Passive Aggressive VS Passive Aggressive.
