Worst Coast
After completing a cross country road trip from Los Angeles, CA to Charlotte, NC, it has come to my attention that drivers from California are in fact the worst drivers on the road.
Once behind the wheel, west coast drivers seem to lose all focus and become an infantile, road raging shell of their former self.
The failure to observe the left lane rule is perhaps the most clear cut example of the short comings of California drivers. In California, the law states "It is the duty of slower traffic to keep right." In other words, if that's you in the rust colored 1988 Toyota TownAce minivan... keep right. Keep right off the highway.
However, California motorists will consistently make their way to the left lane, driving well beneath the posted speed limit, browsing Facebook on their cellphone, paying no mind to the road, or the line of cars they're holding up.
In almost every other State in a straight line between California and North Carolina, drivers rarely ever remain in the left lane, using it only for passing. And if you do happen to come up behind a vehicle traveling in the left lane, it's normally not more than a few seconds before they gladly change lanes to the right to let you pass.
There also seems to be a sense of entitlement driving every California driver. When it comes to "Stop" signs or "Yield" signs, it almost seems like a race to see who can roll through them the quickest without making eye contact or even looking to see if there is through traffic.
Outside the Golden State, drivers seem to follow the right of way. And no one seems to be in such a frantic hurry that mowing down a few pedestrians along the way seems like an acceptable loss to make it to the Starbucks drive-through a few moments quicker.
The severe drought in California has only worsened the extreme and exaggerated response drivers have to any less than ideal weather. Even if it's just a light drizzle, motorists drive as if it's the end times. Cars are either recklessly whizzing by you, veering from lane to lane or crawling in all lanes.
The reaction to harsh weather in all other States is considerably more mild. Most motorists keep to the posted speed limits, give an ample amount of room between cars and try to avoid needlessly changing lanes. With the exception of ice and snow or a severe storm, there isn't a need to change much while driving. Keep alert and focused with any and all distractions, such as cell phones, put away (which is the way it should be at all times).
Final note- if Trump introduces a policy where drivers are met with an electric shock and their phone's memory is permanently deleted upon touching it while behind the wheel, I'll vote for him.
