Honestly, I'd rather you feel bad about doing it though than people who do these "mistakes" out of anger. They are the bad drivers who cause accidents because they never learn or do it to try and cut ahead in traffic.
Anecdote, a woman at my office has been driving for 25 years? Got her first ticket last week and cried over it. Who cares? People are saying if you cried over it you shouldnt be driving. Well, they need to get off their high horse and learn people are different and not everyone is like them when it comes to dealing with certain events. Just because you were emotional doesn't mean you are a horrible driver either.
As said below me: a bad driver is one who doesn't learn from their mistakes.
