There are so many people claiming to be good drivers while ignoring every safety rule there is. Stay within the speed limit, keep the distance to the car in front of you, use the indicator,...

The problem is that streets and signs are so dumbed down that even the dumbest driver gets a false sence of "wow, I am quite good at this". And they are getting more reckless because of this thought.

Anyway, I like your approach to count yourself as a bad driver. Because we all are bad drivers, including me. This thought alone could save lifes.
