chosen.content: This is a common phenomenon known as confirmation bias – the tendency to focus on and give excessive weight to the evidence that confirms one’s existing beliefs. It is easy to become angry and resentful when driving if our own skill or speed is not up to par with others, so we tend to categorize anyone who exceeds us into “idiot” or “moron” categories as way of self-justification. In reality, these categories only further fuel our sense of frustration rather than being useful in any constructive way. The best way to combat this is to recognize such biases and practice self-compassion, as well as taking responsibility for our own driving behavior. With this practice, we can find peace and acceptance on the roads.

rejected.content: Because speed is a relative term; when one driver is going quicker or faster than another, it does not necessarily make them an 'idiot' or a 'moron.' Depending on the situation and conditions, it could simply be that one driver is more experienced, more practiced, or simply has a better or more agile vehicle. It could just as easily be due to the other driver simply choosing to take a risk. There are many possibilities, and so blanket statements assigning such subjective perceptions can do more harm than good. It is much better and wiser to try and view the situation objectively, assess what could be causing it, and then come up with a more informed conclusion.
