Don't paint the many with the follies of a few.
Of course they are intelligent reasonable folk... just some of them are lousy drivers. If we all played well together, we'd see fewer deaths by auto and easier merges in the areas I just described... sharing is a kindergarten concept that seems to be missed by some drivers.
Please note in my tirade that I indicated that it was a few selfish people that tend to muck things up... and then others get trapped in the muck.
