You tend to get what you expect. I always expect "good, sensible, polite, rational conduct from NZ drivers" (or anyone else for that matter). This way I tend to get more of it. However, I do accept the fact that, although I expect it I won't always get it. This prepares me for when shit happens and makes it easier to let it go afterwards (once the adrenalin dies down).
