I hate to generalize on issues like this, so I'll talk about people
I know.  Many members of my family are rather... religious... and the
most pious seem to be the worst drivers.  There's a fatalistic attitude
there, I think, that gets in the way.  You don't need to protect yourself
because God is protecting you.  In fact, a couple relitives are honestly
offended by the thought of driving defensively, because they consider
it as showing lack of faith.

I don't say everyone is like this, but I've seen it in my own family.
