Traffic in California = crawl at 5mph. Traffic in Seattle = drive 15mph for 50 feet then stop for 2 minutes. There's a pretty big difference in the traffic patterns and the level of driving skill of the people on the roads.

IIRC there are limits but what's a cop going to do when stuck in the same traffic? France was insane. Bikers regularly split lanes in heavy traffic moving normally. Twice in one week guys blew past me within inches riding wheelies. Pretty impressive, actually.

I see weird shit everyday going to work and home. you are not alone bro!
People wanna race me everyday. They think the road is like a race road or track.

I had the weirdest experience with a Washington driver a few years back.

5:30 in the morning during late winter (Still dark out). I was turning left onto an on ramp accelerated to about 45 MPH before I realized the tail lights in front of me were coming up quick. I hit the brakes and come to a stop behind them.

I am extremely confused, no one else around, just stopped right in the center of the lane, no hazards, no brake lights, just their running lights.

I stopped and waited about 10 seconds before honking and flashing my lights a couple of times. I see them take the car OUT OF PARK and start driving onto the freeway....

LIKE WTF she stopped at the bottom of an on ramp in the center and parked?! Who the hell thinks that is a smart idea...

I can do one better. In Minneapolis, on the interstate, not once but twice I came up on someone backing up in the off ramp to get back onto the highway. One of the exits was just beyond the crest of a hill or something that made it pretty blind.

Stay frosty, people, because that shit's everywhere.

Okay, one up McGee to the rescue.

I saw someone on I-90 a couple weeks ago back up ON THE FREEWAY SHOULDER to get to a missed exit ramp with a shitload of cars around and traffic moving at 60+mph.

At least on the off-ramp people are usually slowing down.

Simple explanation, legalized marijuana...

I was on a side street turning right on a two lane road. Stopped and looked both ways, no car left but a truck approaching on the right. As I'm turning staying in the lane, the truck in the other lane flicks me off! I was hella confused, I wasn't even near his lane like I coulda hit him or anything, so I turned around and caught him at a light and motioned him to roll down his window. I asked him "why he flicked me off?" And his response, "you guys and your zippy little cars!" And he rolls his window back up... Wtf...
