I'm a fairly new biker too (6months ish), and I live out in the middle of nowhere (north wales). What you see happens everywhere, unfortunately.
Treat everyone (even police cars!) like they're trying to kill you, and you won't go far wrong. However, there's a fine balance between using the bike's power to get away from a situation, and being a hooligan. Personally, I prefer to be on the power than on the brakes, but there are times that I'll sit behind an idiot (that way I have control, not the idiot).
