My opinion goes with the Zen and awareness ideas above as making a good driver.
So I try to fit my behaviour into that definition. I think of myself, and most who get to know my driving habits/style agree, as being very highly aware of everything around me and what they are doing so I can operate within that envelope.
I also think driving talent significantly comes into play when pushing the limits, like on slick surfaces, ice, or on a race track. I do a lot better than average there too.
Btw, IMO talking on a cell phone while driving should be universally outlawed, heavily fined, etc.
