Everyday I see folks, speeding, zigzagging through traffic, tailgating, running stop signs and traffic lights, etc. When one ignores traffic laws, safety signs, drives erratically and aggressivly trying to get ahead of one car or make the stale light, they are not showing what a great driver they are. They are proving what a jerk they are, arrogant and self important, with no regard for others.
I know some of those folks and, sadly, they are totally clueless. In their mind, the are never at fault. It's always the other people.

I agree that in most cases passing in a round about is unnecessary and can be dangerous. But so is driving 10 mph or slower or coming to a complete stop to wave another driver to enter the round about. If someone cannot safely maintain the proper speed in a round about, they should strongly consider giving up driving. All the driving infractions you list are the reasons the state of Florida are considering being back the law which will require periodic driving road tests for seniors when they reach a certain age. No more auto renewals of driver's license.
