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.

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 don't know if anyone saw it but they released a survey of the most aggressive drivers in the U.S. on monday. New York city was number 1 and Miami was number 2.

In my own experience I've found the craziest drivers are in Los Angelos. They all feel entitled to try and slip into that half car space between you and the car in front of you. Also, the traffic signs don't apply to them.

Las Vegas drivers are all as aggressive as me (not counting the strip). You have to pay attention all the time.

Here in Cleveland, it seems like everyone just discovered that they could talk on their cell phones and drive. Of course no of them realize they are driving too slow and are weaving over the lines in the road. I won't even mention the first snowfall of the year (you'd think they'd remember from last year).
