Sorry dude, I know how you feel. I totally agree. I grew up around DC/MD/VA and I'm so desensitized to the shit driving skills around here. I don't even get mad at anyone anymore for even the most dangerous driving antics, it's effin sad.
Turning on your blinker to let people know you want to merge into their lane? Not a chance in hell around here. If there is someone remotely close to you, the minute you turn your blinker on, they WILL close the gap. This is very common in DC/MD/VA. It's sad to see out of state drivers get overtaken by car after car, not understanding why nobody will let them in
But, at least around here, most people have no idea what they're doing behind the wheel, and 9 out of 10 times the person merging into your lane will drive slower than you. It will make you go mad.
Not sure about Hawaii, but I think driving in NOVA is almost equivalent to driving in Manhattan, except the drivers have much shittier skills and could care less about doing the right thing.
What do you expect from a country that hands out drivers licenses like water bottles?
