That's because they all think they're one of the best drivers on the road, 
and nothing will ever happen to their car whilst they're driving it because 
they have the skill to avoid such accidents.  If they are involved in any 
type of accident, even if it is totally their fault for going double the 
speed limit around a blind corner, they will blame the other person for 
going too slowly or not pulling out fast enough.

I'm sure this guy blamed the other "idiots" for stopping on the highway:
