Indeed. You'll find they'll just practise their inside-lane overtaking etc until they think they've mastered it to the point of having the 'it'll never happen to me'. Show them incidents of other people thinking the same and it may calm them down slightly for a while but the old nature will come through.
There are some people who you will never educate. But the majority of them you can.

This is just one example of a video that actually has many students in tears, and will probably stay will them for their whole lives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGsw3xneor8

You seem intelligent enough, that such images would probably have stuck with you, and probably would have made a difference.

You use undertaking as an example. Well if they saw the consequences of undertaking, then they would probably be less likely to do it.
