A good driver knows where he should and shouldn't be racing, and, above all else, puts safety first, unless you're at the track.

Other than that, if you're male, just a general rule is ditching the unnecessary testosterone that makes it so that most male driver's feel they can beat anyone, despite what they're driving. If you can't beat it, and you dont know the other driver; don't try, it makes the rest of us look stupid (much like rebadging does).

These are suggestions that I feel make a good driver. How to DRIVE well...well I'll let someone else take that one :).

using turn signals when changing lanes.

always being aware of your surroundings.

knows exactly what your car can and can't do.

never has any at fault accidents.
