were you kicked out of the other 48 states for your driving? If so Washington only gives you one left. Bring a coat. Alaska is frigid

I'm with you on this! By far the worst in the country! I have been around as well. But grew up in Boston, & learned how to drive a stick while I was living in San Francisco.

I think the biggest issue is no one has any perception of what is going on around them! Some on in the right lane hits their brakes, & we all got to mash on our brakes! If some one is going slow, we all got to match his speed ACROSS the FW, there might be traffic or some thing ahead, & we don't want to go to fast or the speed limit!

Most of the time, I'm told to slow down, as I weaving around slower cars, then I tell my GF, that I'm doing 60-65mph!

Driving from Tacoma to downtown Seattle everyday, you see it all!

Nope not Alaska. Try Montana and Maine. Alaska has better drivers then this side of the state. At least some of the 6speeders make up for the rest of the Seattle population.

Rant off.

I've got a bunch more - but will spare you all the whining.
What annoys me most about the fog light thing is that in the majority of cars you have to turn them on independent of the headlights. So I guess people think it makes their POS more menacing or stylish.

Oh my! I'll just have to get that fixed right now. Herr Dr. Porsche must be turning over in his grave. Do you know a shop around town who could do this for me? What would be a fair price?

I agree on Puget Sound area drivers being the worst. The self righteous attitude is the worst part of them.

My personal favorite is when someone on the interstate decides they want to drive the EXACT same speed as the person in the right lane (usually 5 below the speed limit). They usually decide to do it for about 5-10 mi... Example being this morning on my way to work. It is called the passing lane for a reason!

Wow I feel better already. Just needed a little 6 Speed therapy.

From my perspective that is what the car-pool lane is for. Especially at 5 am and two morons hook up and start flying in formation. Another cute one is when an emergency vehicle shows up on the highway. Rather than just pulling out of the way a massive all lane dive for the shoulder with significant braking takes place. Only thing scarier than that is watching them all trying to exit the shoulder at the same time.

Man, WA state has earned the bad rep for bad drivers. My top 3 peeves:

1. Driving slowly in the fast lane.

2. inability to properly navigate a 4-way stop.

3. inability to merge onto the freeway. Everyone seems to insist on getting into the flow immediately at the earliest possible entry point rather than using the space given to get up to speed and zipper into traffic. I've seen cars practically stop on the onramp and wait for a space to open rather than continue to drive using the allotted space given. Completely absurd.


The weavers chap my hide too. GOM (grumpy old man), out.

Hey! This will get everyone pissed off at me. When I'm city driving I do the speed limit or less (in the right lane on multi lane highways). I love to antagonize people by driving the speed limit and watch them in my rear view mirror making gestures and screaming at me. My response is get your *** out of bed on time and relax. Otherwise your blood pressure may cause you to have a seizure.
