What do you think about motorists? (For research paper)

The question in the thread title should refer to driver behaviour (and there should be an equivalent question somewhere about rider behaviour) as opposed to any kind of personal identification. Obviously, there's a lot of slippage between the two; when we get annoyed by someone, we tend to be annoyed at them as well as their behaviour, as, after all, they were the ones who behaved in this way. There is just so much precious time and energy wasted by getting divisive because people don't want to differentiate, especially in anger, and it all gets very confused when separating things out (e.g., into all the different categories of manoeuvre that people can get wrong) is quite laborious. We then use convenient shortcuts, as often in politics, by attacking the person. We've all done it, as it's easy to get carried away on the wings of a pre-existing foul mood.

(As a minor note, another reason why the label 'motorist' is problematic is because it's often assumed to refer to drivers only. It is perfectly possible, however, for someone to say that they are a motorist even if they don't or can't drive. I have known some wheelchair users who were entirely reliant on private motorised transport, with a chauffeur, to get around, for instance, and who gladly applied that label to themselves.)
