Don't forget, many of us non-drivers have to be passengers, and put
up with our spouse's increasing paranoia. Me, I'm in no hurry,
but get stopped for more than about 10 seconds, the fingers start
tapping on the steering-wheel, he starts wondering whether to
change lane.... starts muttering under his breath.... sounds
familiar?
So we might not know what it is like to drive, but we do know,
and how, the state of mind of a driver

You forgot one critical word in your description. The behaviour you describe
is that of a *bad* driver. Sadly there are plenty of them about, but some
people do have the attitude and confidence to be able to control their
vehicles properly.
