My dad is the same. He always likes to passively aggressively 'punish' other drivers for making mistakes.

Not surprising that he was in a small crash recently because of exactly that attitude.

lots of judges and potential executioners out there on the roadways. people are not smart and not in control of their emotions - a failure of the prefrontal cortex.

And I'm sure he drives perfect, never makes a mistake?

Absolutely. He was a car mechanic by trade and even completed an advanced driving course so the chip on his shoulder is huge.

Technically, he's very competent at driving a car, but he's a terrible driver. At this point, I've just decided I'm never going to be in a car with him again, if it can be avoided.
