Of course it is a minor violation. That is noted in the article.
A minor violation is still a violation.
Whoever the driver was, he did it multiple times.
The attitude screams of arrogance and indifference, even hostility, to the rights of others.
Accepting the minor violations leads to the acceptance of major violations, rather like the “broken window theory” for law enforcement.
Are you suggesting that the incident should not be investigated, and if found to be as described, the driver should not be disciplined?
Nothing I wrote suggests such a thing.
