In fact, I was quite surprised when I visited the area in March.  I didn't think it was possible to be more aggressive than Atlanta drivers.  I found out I was wrong.  I have never driven In CA.; it doesn't sound like something I would like to try.

I wonder if the farther up I-95 you go, the worse the drivers are?...to a point. Coming from VA, the more Southern drivers seem much more polite, less in a hurry. In SC no cars don't drive as close, or cut off other cars as they do around the DC area. When I'm the driver in SC my brother complains that I drive too close and cut off others, when I think I had lots of room.....maybe I should listen to him, he's a driving instructor. (Good thing there isn't a fish on my car.)

I remember a high school classmate in SC who had been taught to signal if the car in front of him was signaling. I thought it could give other drivers the idea that several cars were turning, and might cause someone to pull out not expecting any oncoming cars.
