I'm with you.  and I'm from California!! I've seen more bizzare driving in 3
months here
than I did in 8 years in Los Angeles and 25 in the Bay Area.  Consider
backing up on the 395 to get to the exit?! Going up an exit ramp to get ONTO
a freeway?!  And don't get me started about indecisiveness.  "I wanna go
left . . . no, I wanna go right . . . no, I wanna stop . . . no I wanna go
fast . . ." and not even with diplomatic plates or that great tourist "deer
in the headlights" look they get when driving rental cars.  These are
locals.  I'm frankly less worried about road rage and more worried about
road stupidity.  Oh well.  They're nice people. Many of them know how to
drive.  Its the exasperating few that just make me want to go hide under the
bed.
