That's a good term. Not sure if you agree, of course, but there is a
lot of "non-attentive" driving that is a form of "passive aggressive
driving" that, IMHO, causes far more accidents than "active aggressive
drivers".

My favorite saying is that "Some drivers drive their vehicles the way
they watch TV: passively." Some are couch-potatoes in their cars. Some
are more interested in eating, listening to music, talking on the
phone, gabbing with others in their vehicle, or "driving safely" by
going all too slow and causing accidents.
