OOS girls (LI'ers don't read)
Right people who have moved away...
Is it just me or does LI have the most aggressive, worst drivers on the planet??? (see LI'ers, I told you not to read this!!!)
Where I live, if you put your signal on to get over, people slow down and let you in, they don't speed up and fill in any gaps that you might try to get into!!!
Whats going on here???

Re: OOS girls (LI'ers don't read)
 I read it even though I was told not to
That was like putting up a big sign reading "LIers COME IN"
ETA: I totally agree with you. I try to let people in whenever they have their signal on, but some drivers are such a*holes.

Re: OOS girls (LI'ers don't read)
no one would let me change lanes when I lived in Colorado
(the NY plates didn't help)
I don't have this problem here- maybe b/c I don't give people the chance not to let me it- I am a pretty aggressive driver myself

People have signs in CO that state move all accidents out of traffic lanes

Re: OOS girls (LI'ers don't read)
i have to say that i was in phoenix for 3 days
one day, i made a left turn and i didn't have the right of way -- i was basically cutting across the lanes...the traffic stopped and they let me zoom across!
i cannot stand when people honk at you as soon as the light turns green. that is soo annoying.

Re: OOS girls (LI'ers don't read)
Yes, putting the don't read brought me right in!
I lived OOS for 11 years and yes, NY drivers are VERY aggresive. I sometimes hate driving around here. The prevalence of cell phones has not helped either.

Re: OOS girls (LI'ers don't read)
I thought NY had pretty aggressive drivers, but then I moved to Boston. It is BAD here.
It does not help that most Bostonians seem to think that lanes are optional, there are at least 10 Washington Streets in any given town, and they don't feel a roadway is complete without a rotary....now I miss NY drivers

No flaming! I give credit where credit is due. You're right. Nicole is right. Driving is an experience every time I get on a highway (which is everyday! ). And 99% of the time that I'm p!ssed off at a driver for their "wonderful" skills, I look over and see the light blue NC plate!

Re: OOS girls (LI'ers don't read)
I HATE driving in NY. I don't know how many times IN TRAFFIC people have tried to change lanes with ME THERE!
Sorry I can't let you in when we're NOT MOVING.
But I also hating driving in the south since they are the biggest bunch of idiots! They see a snowflake in the sky and forget how to drive above 15mph... but then there's one idiot cutting everyone off and going like 75.
oy vey.

Re: OOS girls (LI'ers don't read)
I have to say that NYC, Boston, LA and Miami take the cake.
Phoenix drivers are yahoos in their big trucks that don't care about anyone else on the road.
I'm amazed on the weekends here when people in very expensive cars don't know how to drive. I find that "MOST" of them need to re-learn how to drive. They drift across lanes of traffic w/o looking, no signal, and this is a big one, park in handicapped spots when they don't have a permit. I've confronted them myself.
Not singling anyone in particular out here on LIF, I just noticed this in general in my neck of the woods.
