What's the rush?

On our way home, my sister and I found ourselves sitting in a traffic bottleneck at an intersection caused by a five-car collision... late at night! Why is anyone in his/ her right mind rushing at that time of night?! To top that off, the driver of the car behind us was also in a hurry, honking the car's horn away as traffic enforcers sorted out the mishap. After a few minutes, though, the car overheated and the hood was steaming all over. 

In defensive driving class, the adage "expect the other drivers to be stupid" must be true. How else could anyone explain why a driver would turn right on a corner from the inner lane of a four-lane road? Tailgate at an intersection (or anywhere for that matter)? Drive a vehicle with headlights and taillights switched off at night? Drive after drinking alcohol or without having adequate rest? Or ride motorbikes without helmets?
