Problem is 75% of other road users are complete idiots, once ther are in the confines of the metal box they are obviously the best driver and everyone else is inferior, slower and more stupid,
The amount of cars on the road thse days, poor standard of driving and people's attitude has changed everything, your either in a rush to get somewhere so drive like a tool (mainly reps) just passed your test and have got your freedom and need to show off the size of your dangly bits so feel he need to drive like a tool and race everything that looks rometly faster than your 1.1 saxo to impress your petrified misses in the passenger seat.
The misses soesn't like my driving as it's too aggressive (her words)I never race people don't cut anyone up or show my frustration by flashing or beeping. If you liked it's defensive, If you drive like you just passed your test everyone else will bully you off the road I'm afraid now days leave more than a safe distance in front snd someone will cut in.
Every one should be mDe to ride a moped for a year before getting into a car at least that way the'll understand how vulnerable you are when not inclosed gain something respect of your surroundings and actions. Realise you don't have to drive at 90 to get everywhere and if you do decide to drive like a too it will hurt when you fall off.
