I agree with Mal on all but one point... statistically, the best drivers are those that can drive OFFENSIVELY... this does not mean being an aggressive asshole, however. In fact, the military has conducted a study of soldiers who have taken the mandatory defensive driving courses in the US Army and have begun to conclude that it does not always make drivers more safe. Also note that driving in Europe is generally much less defensive and much more offensive, and there are fewer vehicular related deaths, even on stretches of Autobahn where, for the most part, there are no speed limits (the Autobahn DOES have areas with maximum speed limits, however, and the fact that people change from throttled driving to unbridled cruising helps show my point).
