One of the worst things you can do as a driver, is project a character onto other drivers. If everyone who passes you, tailgates, swerves, short-brakes and so on, is an "idiot", then your in for a miserable life behind the wheel. With an adversarial approach like that, you'll develop more aggressive (ie: dangerous) driving habits, and probably give yourself an ulcer in the process. This is where road rage comes from.

Even the best drivers make mistakes, or don't spot a hazard from time to time. We're all making the same trip with the same distractions. Never presuppose the situation.
