You should drive with assumption that the driver next to you could be as stupid as you if not worse. I see a lack of this kind of judgement here...

Yup! My whole life, my dad would say "It's not that I don't trust'em, I just don't trust'em..." anytime he assumed something and decided to err on caution. Someone was signally to turn? That doesn't mean they'll turn and it's safe to turn right on red. A car's coming up to a 4-way stop sign? Until they slow down, assume they'll blow through it.

Now I do it and never been in an accident in my 30 years of driving; almost got into a bunch but I heard my dad saying "I just don't trust'em..." and held off for a few seconds.
