Good subject OP. I believe every driver out there thinks they are justified in the way they drive whether it be good or bad. Road rage? Avoid at all costs especially in the US due ccw.
The only way the perps will pay attention is if they get a fine or thrown in jail. Most of everybody justifies their behavior.
Yes I agree Motion the drivers in the UK are more polite. However if you are a pedestrian watch out as drivers don't seem to stop for one except at a red light or pedestrian crossing. Canada's drivers are not as polite as the UK ones but somewhat better than the US.
There is no point in crossing these azzhat drivers. Be patient and don't challenge them.
Life is too short.
And have a safe day.
