Ah yeah. I'm personally of the "follows the rules" paradigm. Drive defensively (albeit not too defensively), within the buffer above the speed limit, etc. is my idea of the best driver. My dad is the other type of good driver. He's just good as in he can push the limits in every possible way without actually hurting anyone. He's a skilled driver. I'm a proper driver. The difference is, if I screw up I normally have enough time and decent enough conditions to correct. He can't screw up; if he does, something bad will happen. However, he doesn't screw up (or if he does, it's extremely rare).

So both are good in different areas. Proper versus skilled. I suppose someone can be both, but I'll bet it's rare.
