But then I would get mad when they would do stupid things on the road and not know what the rules are. So I have to pick one. Either think people are generally smart and know the rules and I should get upset when they do stupid things. Or I can believe people are generally stupid and don’t know the rules and I should not get upset when they do stupid things. I prefer the later because there is too much evidence against the former.

Just a way of thinking that makes me much less irritated while riding.
