Blindly crossing over the cheverons and onto the oncoming traffic on the wrong side of the road, those vehicles also having to take avoiding action.

I have reported it and sent the dashcam evidence as well to the Police. Not something I would ever do for a genuine mistake where no one was hurt, that was no mistake though. The driver needs at the least someone to have a word in their ear about the manner of their driving
You did the right thing, hopefully the driver will get a warning so that he changes his ways and lives are saved.
