I know you shouldn't be judgemental, but i was looking at a woman next to me yesterday morning driving her car in the opposite direction with kids in the back, we were all a bit congested trying to get in/out of a back road shortcut, and i thought to myself "I bet she's a really bad driver?"
At that point i saw her 'only' look right, then pull straight out into the path of another car coming from the left causing both to do emergency stops. :look
Daily occurrence though, and now i've learned to try and be seen, keep your distance, don't take unnecessary chances and take your time. I'm in no major hurry to get to work anyway.
If you're a pedestrian who walks out in front of me though, which happens a lot near my work, you're gonna get an earful of air horn and me not stopping, 'cos that's just bad manners in my opinion, especially when they're extremely close to a proper crossing. :grumble
