Seattle drivers are weird

[Djratrap]

Too easy to get a drivers license. They should make the written test fives times harder and require a mandatory drive test for all ages.

[shiumai]

start carrying stuff to throw back at them.

I'll just leave this here.... http://www.seattlerex.com/the-worst-...-dissertation/

And yes, it's too easy to get a license here. If you have a license ANYWHERE else in the world you are simply given a license when you come here.

We also have some of the longest on and off ramps, yet people still don't get up to highway speed before trying to merge. Or they start slowing down a mile before they get to their exit.

If two cars are doing 60 MPH and there is a gap between them, guess how fast that gap is moving? It's not 45 freaking miles per hour!!!

NO SHIT!

Oregon and Texas drivers here in my part of CA do that too. Months ago had TX driver throw slushy at Miata driver and they got into fist fight. TX driver got suspended license or something. Forgot what. CHP is family friend and shared story. Turned out miata was going like 80, and TX driver was pushing him.

My experience with Oregon drivers here are lame and jerk related.They have cut me off through shoulder and once through yellow lane. Like wth bruhs....


CA drivers are worst though overall. (And I'm from CA)

Love driving in CA, especially LA. So much more aggressive. Traffic actually flows. FLOWS! Something we've never seen here.

Till you get a hit and run and you're stuck with:

A) sh1t car that's barely driveable or not so.
B) high premium haha

Been hit twice. Once in Anaheim and another in Santa Ana. Both drove off asap. Found one of the hit n run cars, police wrote a vague report, nothing happened.

I thought Washington was full of good drivers? Oregon is so so 6/10. Tx it's too aggressive. Everyone has a big truck they use as a dd and an attitude to raise Satan himself. Lol always hearing Washington people are polite?

At a 4 way stop people wave the other drivers on.
Legally they're supposed to have right of way, but no, "You go first"

Gah. RTFM

Washington drivers are horrendous and very self centered. If they're lost they don't care that people are behind them they'll just stop in the middle of the street. If they're about to miss their exit because they weren't paying attention they'll stop and force a 2mph merge across all 5 lanes of I5 because they can't be bothered to own up to their mistake and take the next exit down. I could go on for days but I'd rather have predictable aggressive drivers than unpredictable clueless ultra slow drivers any day.

Goodness!

In Ireland I made a gazillion mistakes and not one honk or anything! Everyone so very patient and nice about my mistakes. Some EU nations have so much to teach us. Man oh man. Not moving to Washington then.

Go drive through France or Italy and see what your opinion of EU drivers is like!

[soulreapersteve]

Prius drivers = horrible
Taxi drivers = horrible

Taxi drivers who drive Priuses (prii??) = watch the fuck out!

I was gently cruising along at 40 mph on a main street when I suddenly saw two taxi coming up fast in my rear mirror. They passed me on both sides going at least 60...

Sometimes, they stop right in the middle of the street to adjust their GPS without emergency lights or anything.

seriously, there are shit drivers everywhere. and Sorry Joey but not all CA traffic flows, i got stuck in plenty of crap traffic watching guys in crotch rockets lane splitting stopped traffic at 50 mph. (and yes i know its legal, i have no issue with lane splitting and think it should be legal, just not doing 50 between stopped traffic)
