I believe that good driving requires empathy. Empathy for other road users - pedestrians, horses, bikes, cars, whatever - makes you a calm, courteous and safe driver.
Empathy requires a lot of brain power - you need to be able to analyse your surroundings and anticipate your needs and the needs of others, in real time and at speed . I reckon most people lack the discipline to free up the head space required to be empathetic. A proportion will lack the head space to do much more than just drive the car, but that might be my cynical misanthropy creeping in.
