What I’m hearing is you require other drivers to drive deferentially in such a way that caters to your ego in order for you to drive safely and avoid conflicts, otherwise you drive like a sociopath for sport?

  Oh, sorry. Comment snuck up on you too fast? Put you ill at ease while you thought you were the only person on the internet?
  What are you gonna do, claim personal offense and use that as justification to return the offense ten-fold?
  
  There is another option. It’s minding your business.
  We can’t know the justifications or dispositions of others, but we can choose not to pick fights with strangers. In fact: choosing to avoid confrontation could save a life! Someone else’s, or even your own - you don’t know who you’re messing with on the road. 🌈💫

  I must have.
  
  My wife is an anxious passenger. I usually set the adaptive cruise control to whatever matches prevailing traffic, and stay in the outermost lane unless I have to pass someone. Most of my driving is honestly trying to make sure if someone does something stupid, I’m reacting to it in a calm way.
  
  A lot of people have big feels about controlling the road.
  The adaptive cruise control is interesting - if I’m a few hundred feet behind someone long enough for it to “lock in”, I know their speed because my car is pacing them.
  
  It’s fascinating to see people suddenly accelerate after miles of the same speed on a relatively empty road because I moved into the passing lane, or (conversely) slow down because they’re alongside a slow vehicle and not in danger of being under-passed by another driver. The ego and herd mentality is something to behold.
