Perhaps there is something you can learn from your experience. While it was clearly the drivers fault, perhaps there is something you could have done differently that you can employ in the future.
That's a great approach. To review the situation and ask yourself what you would do differently if you had to do it all over again. I suspect the OP could find things he would do differently if he had to do it all over again.
