Cali Driving

Since moving to California I have developed two theories about California drivers.
First, I believe that motorists in this state are largely encouraged to ignore their turn signals.
Second, it appears to be that the speed limit is considered to be more of an average than a limit. So, if you spend the morning stuck in traffic, you get to spend the remainder of the day driving like a bat-out-of-hell to bring that average back up. Right?

I agree, althought the premise of an "average" is new and interesting. I also think that the scariest drivers are the speeding minivans, and that I actually think that all the drivers are fairly well balanced mentally. In other states, swerving between lanes and cutting people off ends up in confrontations of some sort (honkings, middle-fingerings, swearings, beatings). Here: apparently no big deal. I like that.
