Same here, on all points. I am a confident, almost aggressive driver, and I have been since I first got behind the wheel at age 15. I have never doubted my driving skills--a strength and a weakness. More than being a skilled driver, I have been just plain lucky.. there have been many close calls over the years, and definitely, there but for the grace of God (or physics) went I. As I wrap up my 20s, I think I've learned a lot about driving in a much more conservative way, and I believe I've grown into a much safer driver (for myself--since I was always quite safe when driving with passengers in the car, just not when I was alone) over the years. I still don't trust anyone else more than myself, to drive a car the way it should be driven.
