I've lived here 30 years, and I never thought I would say it, but drivers have gotten even worse than places like New York, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles. (I've driven in all of them). My brother lives in Boston, and calls bad drivers there "Massholes". When he came to visit last year, his comment was that we actually have worse drivers than Boston.
The short list of HORRIBLE driving I see EVERY time I go out includes: Running stop lights and signs. Failure to yield. Failure to signal turns and lane changes. Speeding (20 or more mph over limit) Reckless driving, texting while driving. Tail gating, Road Rage. I could go on, but you get the idea.
Today I had some moron in an Black Chevy Tahoe
tailgating at 45 mph, so close, that I couldn't even seen his front grill. There was no reason for it, we were on West Maple, and he could have easily gone around. This kind of dip stick thinks it's appropriate to tailgate to get you to change lanes to get out of their way. Well I didn't, so when this brain trust finally went around, he got in front of me, slammed on the brakes and then sat at a green light intersection hoping the light would turn red.
Sure wish we had some police presence on the streets that would get these morons off the road before they kill someone.
