Default Agreed; too many drivers don't realize or care that their behavior affects hundreds ...
...or sometimes thousands of drivers behind them. Especially in the all-too-common heavy traffic.

Default I see bad drivers every freakin day. Almost every time, it's someone on their cell phone.
...sometimes its an old, asian lady who cant see over the dashboard.

Coming from Boston, Seattle drivers sure are disorienting and unpredictable.

Having lived in Seattle most of my life, I concur! It's like quantum mechanics in cars!

Default you're too polite in describing it; "courteous" isn't the word I'd choose
I got several native Washingtonian co-workers who'd describe fellow Washington drivers as morons. And after being here for an year, I have to agree.

Well, when referring to your driving, they don't call you Mass-holes for nothing.
