Do you ever feel like you're the only good driver on the road? Do you ever wonder where everybody else developed such poor driving skills?
This is not another of Zyzmog's Laws of Motion, but rather an expansion on someone else's law.
Most drivers are not bad drivers. They just don't drive the way you do, or the way you expect them to.
To paraphrase the late comedian George Carlin:
There are two kinds of drivers on the road: morons and jerks. A moron is anybody who drives slower than you. A jerk is anybody who drives faster than you.
It's worth noting that all the morons think you're a jerk, and all the jerks think you're a moron.
Carlin's observation can be extended to cover any other aspect of driving.
The logical conclusion of all of this is that everybody thinks they're the only good driver on the road, when in reality we're all terrible drivers in someone's eyes.
