Yup, if everyone tempered their self confidence with the knowledge that the roads are full of drivers of all age ranges, ability levels, etc. etc. we'd see a lot less accidents. Tailgating, undertaking or cutting up someone you feel is a bad driver because they're in the wrong lane, driving too slowly or whatever really isn't an example of good driving. It's the triumph of ego and frustration over common sense.
