If you're talking watching your mirrors and paying attention to the traffic movement around you, etc, then I think "attentive" would be the word.
To me courteous implies things like are you the type of driver who lets someone in who's trying to make a turn or get into your lane. Do you give a courtesy wave when someone lets you cut in, etc.
I'm both attentive and courteous. :D
Re: worst drivers --- I don't know what country or city has the worst drivers (I'll gladly stack Winnipeg up against anywhere else though), but the absolute worst cut-throat whiteknuckle driving I've ever done was on that long N-S tollway going through Chicago at rushhour. Every ten miles or so your three or four lanes open up into roughly twenty lanes, you go through the toll booth and throw your change into that little catch basket, then it's Indy 500 time as everyone in those 20 lanes races to where the highway narrows back into 3 or 4 again. It's utter insanity for like a hundred miles or more.
I've driven it twice and lived to tell about it. :D
