Why does San Diego have some of the worst drivers?
I've lived in Seattle, Minneapolis, Florida, Fresno, and since I moved to San Diego a few years back I have seen some of the worst driving ever:
1. When a lane ends and it's merging, the drivers here wait until the very last second and force their way into traffic, vice finding an opening BEFORE the lane ends and signaling your way in so everyone behind you doesn't have to tap the brakes.
2. Drivers cut across mulitple lanes of traffic to cut in front of others and take an exit at the last second, vice waiting in the exit lane like everyone else was.
3. Oh here's one...you're waiting to turn right onto a major road. There is oncoming traffic so you wait...only to find out the car approaching was going to turn right all along, but not courteous enough to use his blinker.
4. Oh and the doozy...it's rush hour, slow and go traffic, and you have these boneheads that keep changing lanes all over the place thinking this will get them to their destination faster...all it does is make everyone behind them tap their brakes and cause a huge domino effect.
5. You're at the store, and you're backing out of your parking spot. But everyone keeps driving right on by like they are a runaway locomotive and no common courtesy to let you back out.
6. You go to pass a car ahead of you. So they see you going to pass, so they speed up to block you.
SoCal drivers in general are all about offensive driving that benefits them and not defensive driving that makes the road safe for everyone. Maybe some of it has to do with the mexican drivers that come up here with their bad driving habits and it rubs off on others....I dunno...
Honky: oh no....been to LA, NY, Chicago, etc and by far San Diego is the worst. It's everyone for themselves down here.

LMAO! that was funny!
Honestly in San Diego people just arent as courteous, they have to get where THEY have to get NOW and dont care if they killl anyone in the process.
Maybe its because alot of tourists come and there clueless? Or it could be the Mexican thing but im glad im not the only one who noticed

You can only guess why, so here is my guess. I think that a large percentage of San Diego's population is from somewhere other than San Diego. I have traveled all over and people drive different everywhere. Some people are used to stop and go, some are used to flat straight roads, some mountains, weather, ice, dirt roads, the list go's on and on. When all these people from around the world end up in San Diego and this is what you get. The benefit is you get great food from all over the world too!

Whenever they do a poll about bad driving, the only constant is that every single person is convinced that the city that they live in has the worst drivers of all.
So I can only conclude that bad driving is everywhere. It's why I take the subway.
