See the problem?
How do you hope to make a positive change from within your car & with him in his?
What option would you rather do than 'accommodate'?
Another question.
How do you know that said driver was not trying to get to the birth of his first child.
I accept that stereotypes get to exist because they have a grain of truth, but stereotypes are not universally true, and so your view of the attitude of the driver is an assumption based on speculation.
From outside the "offending" vehicle there is no way to know the purpose of that journey nor the pressures or motivation of the driver. They may well be unreasonable, but they may equally be not. Without access to that information, I don't see how we can reasonably seek to influence behavior effectively.
