For some reason, if they do something slightly illegal, even if I would do the exact same thing, I get extra mad. Especially if they're from arizona. Don't ask me why, it just is.

If I see an out-of-state plate (Midwest states don't count), then I begin to wonder what they're doing out here.

I really don't see them do anything awful, except drive slow.

I saw a guy stopped in front of a "no stopping anytime" sign checking something on his phone. Totally blocking the lane. Of course, he had Arizona plates.

For some reason any car with an east coast plate drives too slow on the fast lane

i live fifteen minutes from the canadian border and next to a giant mall.

the parking lot is only ny plates and ontario plates, probably half and half... they come here to shop, take the clothes and shoes out of the boxes and bags, put them on and leave their own clothes in the trash with the bags, so they don't have to pay taxes when they cross back over.

canadian drivers are the WORST.

Driving is really not that bad in San Diego till it rains.
Once it rains there are 10 car pile ups all over the place:facepalm:
San Diego drivers really shouldn't suck as bad as they do in the rain(most drivers are from other states)

I've driven for extended periods of time all over the country.

People here are the worst, bar none. Especially NOLA and the northshore.

And before someone tries to turn this into a pissing contest, I wish this wasn't true. Having to be a defensive driver 110% of the god damned time gets really old. I have a 50 mile round trip commute on a 70mph interstate. For the last 19, count them, fucking 19 times it has been at least sprinkling, I have been parked on the interstate due to at least one car/truck/suv being flipped. Roughly 40% of the autopsies I assist on are MVA's, compared to about 15% to 25% in neighboring states.

I almost get in a wreck every day. People are completely baffled by 4 way stops, and I regularly see people check over their shoulders for police only go blow through a red light.

And before this gets flipped on me, I have been driving for over 7 years without as much as a speeding ticket.

I've had friends visit me from Michigan, Florida, California, Arizona, and NYC that have all agreed with me that people are batshit insane down here behind the wheel. I'm going to make my kids wear helmets when they learn to drive.
