The best driver, in theory, is the one that gets you to your destination safely and without breaking any laws. The thing is, you have to take into consideration that the flow of traffic around you, especially on the highway. The speed limit here is 70; anyone actually going 70 is "too slow" and has cars overtaking them constantly. It's unfortunate, but it's a fact of life that isn't going to change.
I speed. Not much in the city, but I speed on the highway because I don't like the feeling of cars overtaking me constantly. It makes me feel unsafe. Isn't that ironic?
I think I am the better driver in most ways between me and my husband; he tends to get too involved in conversation to pay attention to what he's doing and sometimes scares me. He doesn't really know the rules of things like 3 or 4 way stops, and I'll have to tell him if he has the right of way. However, he is much better at handling the car in snow and ice; winter conditions scare the crap out of me and I avoid driving then at all costs.
I do think anyone who talks on their cell phone while driving is a bad driver; this is a major pet peeve of mine. I can't tell you how many near accidents I have been in or witnessed due to someone yakking away and not paying attention.
