I don't know other driver, but when someone is on the median or close to the road I usually slow down in principle because it doesn't match the usual expectations of a typical 'safe' situation.
I've been advocating against public testing for a long time, because it's just treating people safety as an externality. Uber is cutting corners, not all company are that sloppy, but this is, overall, unacceptable.
