It was 3AM so the roads were dead, so I figured it'd be okay to truck on through, otherwise I would have pulled over.
Took me like 4 hours to get back to a friends house when he only lived about an hour and half away. That sucked

I just worked my way over to the right lane and slowed down; others were just freaking out and panic braking for no good reason. Even with my headlights (low-beam) on, it was some white-knuckle driving at first.
But sure enough, there was that inimitable group of idiots who thought nothing of charging onward at 80+ mph, when anyone with good sense was going 35 max. So yeah, it's not that we're spoiled.. it that many CA drivers do not understand the need to adjust their speed for changing conditions.
