‘don’t like the weather, wait an hour.’, every state i’ve been to.
You’ve never been to so cal, we always just say isn’t the weather perfect here.
not as an adult
Arkansas doesn’t require driver’s ed so I think we do have the market cornered on bad drivers. I see folks slam on their brakes on the interstate, reverse back to their exit, the interstates themselves were obviously designed by folks who don’t understand how it works, etc. I’ve lived in several states and never seen anything quite like it.
I think what people don’t realize is that roads are mostly designed by politicians and transit engineers just check to make sure the whole thing doesn’t collapse or sink when a car drives over it.
There are standards but 9/10 times the standards are written by the local council member whose background is in like real estate law or is the son of the local auto dealership owner.
They do that shit in Florida often enough as well. Mostly the same reason. People who don’t, or legally should not, have a license.
A good driver NEVER misses their exit.
In my state, it was 70° last week; now it is 28°.
Week? Yesterday my daughter and I rode bikes to her school in 30° and rode home in 73°. Choosing her outfits is very difficult this week.
Thermal underwear under jeggings, no-show socks, Uggs, and a wool tube top. Problem solved!
Would you happen to be somewhere near east Tennessee/north Carolina? Same exact thing happened here
I’m pretty close to Bowling Green, KY. Did you see the guy that got caught having sex with the dead deer on the side of the road? One county over :/
Are the people in your city also famous for crashing cars into buildings at an alarming rate?
Nobody here is famous. And the mayor’s name is Billy-Bob.
I’ve lived in quite a few places and I still think of Maryland drivers as the worst I’ve encountered. Istanbul drivers are the most ballsy/skilled/terrifying/helpful.
I was coming here to say this exact thing… I’ve never seen such an aggressively clueless population of drivers as those in Maryland. They will savagely cut you off in the left lane to go the speed limit or less.
I thought my state was the worst, but turns out Miami takes the cake. Grand Theft Auto was basically accurate.
Florida literally has a monsoon season where it goes from sunny to pouring to sunny around the same time every day for like 4 months.
If desperately needs to enter the monsoon season as well
There is an exceptional drought occurring
You got at least a month before irregular rains, and 2 months before the wet season actually starts.
What are the estuaryies looking like?

You missed Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, and South Dakota
The fucking Russian drivers are the worst. I saw plenty of them in Masuren and Ermland (Warmia) before Poland closed the border with the shitbag Muscovites from the illegally occupied Kaliningrad.
Any northern country is disqualified as they know how to drive in snow. The worst drivers have to be a place that doesn’t get regular snow.
I’ve had people say Vietnam is the worst, but everyone rides slow, are riding from a very young age, and are prepared for literally anything to happen on the road at any minute. The issue isn’t skill, it’s that they’re on hardmode, riding overloaded crap bikes with crap rubber while simultaneously texting, smoking, and drinking. They perform much better than I could in the same situation.
Nope, it’s always cloudy. Or like some valleys are cloudy and some are sunny. But they are predictable.
In my state not all the drivers are the worst. Just those from 22, 8, 14counties. That’s Crete, hastings, grand island
A day? In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change. And Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive. New Jersey drivers are bad.
NJ won’t even let them pump gas.
Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive
Worcester on the other hand, has shit drivers. Every time I’ve been through there I’ve seen people do dumb shit on the road.
In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change.
Which New England are you in? When it’s rainy/snowy, that weather sticks around for days. Generally speaking, most places with high humidity generally have more consistent weather. It’s areas with low humidity (and high elevation) where you get really big weather and temperature swings.
I grew up in Boston, I’ve lived in Phoenix for the last 25 years… I think you have that backwards, at least that’s been my experience.
Pennsylvania drivers take the cake. NJ is a mishmash.
SoCal here. Nope, weather is consistently great. Also, Arizona’s drivers are much worse.
I was going to say everywhere but San Diego. I would describe the weather there as room temperature.
NorCal here. Weather here isn’t great but it’s very predictable.
Speak for yourself. Love and miss that cooler, predictable weather. Sick of this shit where I send my kids to school in 30 degree weather and pick them up in 70-80 degree weather. ALSO…IT. FUCKEN. WIMDY. And to top it off stank ass Bradford pears spaffing into the breeze through spring and summer. Oh and lots of tornados every year. Oklahoma weather is bullshit.
I actually moved here from Tulsa so I know very well what you mean lol. Left Tulsa 2 years ago after 15 years. I miss the thunderstorms but literally nothing else lol.
LOL perfect. The thunderstorms were the only thing I missed when I lived in other places too. Love a good thunderstorm.
A buddy of mine helped his sister move from AZ to Socal, he comes from a family of city-planner types, so he’s constantly going on about roadway designs. He told me that while my area has better constructed roads, and our drivers are terrible, that Socal had worse roads, but great drivers (road discipline wise, at least). Probably sample bias but neat trivia.
The main thing I noticed about Socal drivers is frequent horn use.
When your bumper to bumper at 70-80mph you gotta alert them quick.
Washington has the worst drivers on the west coast.
Oregon has the best.
CA and AZ are both pretty average.
Arizona is not on the West Coast
We could be connected to the Gulf of California before too long.
Missouri here. Most of this area is valid in making the weather statement. Because we’re right where weather fronts like to meet up at to fight, we will literally get times when the high is 35f one day and then 70f the next. I think last year we had a day that went from 78f to 19f over the course of like half a day.
“SoCal weather is so bipolar like one moment it could be hot and sunny and 10 minute drive later it could be cold and cloudy” /s
Nobody in California ever said that shit.
Having rain 3 days a year isn’t bipolar weather
You must be Southern California. Northern it rains all the time.
Yeah but weather over there fluctuates a lot between on fire and not on fire
A couple years ago I was back in Florida visiting my parents and I forgot how weird shit was there sometimes. About 75+ degrees outside and out of nowhere sudden hail/downpour. Hail of all different sized, one piece was like half a soft ball. Went on for maybe 60 seconds. Was long enough for me to open the door, acknowledge I could no longer see shit, and then pick up that giant piece of ice and the storm cloud passed. A bit over 2-3" of rain I emptied out of the rain gauge.
Everywhere has weird weather moments, but that one will always stand out to me.
