Most of us seem to agree that traffic and drivers are worse here than just about anywhere. There’s other people out there who insist that traffic is bad everywhere and that you are no better off in a place like Denver or Portland. My conclusion is that many of our problems come down to the people behind the wheel, and not purely the levels of traffic, although traffic jams can also cause changes in a person who would otherwise be calm. Are there just more worse, self absorbed people in SoCal than elsewhere? Instead of answering that question, let’s lay out examples of situations you’ve seen here that would never happen elsewhere. I’ll start (Actually, I already did above, but here’s another!):
-Every single time that I have pulled up to a four way stop at the same time as another driver the past 8 years, the other driver has never waved me to go first. I routinely tell other drivers to go ahead, and whenever I visit other cities I am routinely provided with the same courtesy.
