My RAF instructor always told us never to do anything that FORCED another driver to have to change speed or direction.
A few drivers could take note of that.

A good driver is someone who has passed the 'Advanced Driver' course and maintains their competency.

I personally think that riding motorcycles before driving was invaluable to me. I like to think that I am a fairly good driver but who am I to judge!

In my own opinion I am a good driver. In other people's opinion I am a bad driver, and here is why.
We travel about 20,000 miles per year in Europe. In all that time I probably have about 10 people who feel the need to honk their horn at me. Also in all that time I never need to honk my horn.
So, the rest of the motoring public must be good and I must be bad.
One thing particularly needs to be better understood. When you have to wait for traffic from both left and right to be clear you might be there for a while. In those circumstances you might need to catch an opportunity that you might otherwise let pass. It's called making reasonable progress.
I found myself on a motorway service area recently and needed to make a sharp left turn to make my exit. I waited until the road was clear and made my turn. Because of the angle of the turn and the length of my vehicle I had no choice other than to cross over into the oncoming lane (we've all had to do that). A car appeared mid maneuver and he felt the need to throw both his hands in the air.
Is he a good driver, or am I a bad driver? Yes, I could have driven over the bushes and pavement and stayed in the left lane. I did not design the parking area, I just had to use it as it was.

Should we meet, I will explain in great detail why that statement is so very very wrong and demonstrates a pretty dangerous and blinkered ideal ( and I speak as not only an IAM certified driver but a once observer )
