it's a little bit worrisome that we all seem to think we're in the 10%.

A bit like how when you poll drivers on how good they think they are at driving, the vast majority say they're better than average lol

That's possible though, if there are some really bad drivers screwing the average.

Edit: it's probably even true in this case, it just depends on how you define 'good'. For example if you define it by getting tickets, only 36% of drivers are issued tickets. The average number of tickets issued is > 0 but the majority of drivers aren't issued tickets, the average is skewed, because most drivers are at 0.

I don't know how you'd measure driving "goodness", but I expect the distribution would be something like exponential (there are billions of non-drivers, and only a few rally/stunt drivers). So the average is likely to be higher than the median.
