For people riding motorcycles, defensive driving is a must for the sake of your survival, while offensively driving is guaranteed to cause bad problems, accidents or death. The time you spend pissed off at how other people are driving is time you should instead be spending on keeping yourself safe and upright.

You're on a motorcycle, body exposed to traffic as if you're naked, no protection besides the lightweight armor in your clothes and a helmet:

your indignation/need to be right

vs

a car/truck weighing several tons?

No contest.
