While the Jab mentions that Bay area drivers are too slow, I'd say that SoCal drivers (especially in LA) are way too fast. I take a certain pleasure in cruising along in my '63 Chevy Nova (and yes, I do stay to the right) and get quite annoyed when I get someone riding on my ass when they have 3 or 4 other lanes to race by in. I've seen a few people get infuriated if you're not driving 75 in the slow lane. I also drive one of the worst commutes in the nation (405 fwy between the San Fernando Valley and Santa Monica) and I basically see a ton of distracted drivers who must feel they are immortal due to the insane moves they pull. So if you move here, just make sure you're a defensive driver, have really good car insurance and a good stereo with lots of CDs for those heavy traffic days.....or just live really close to where you work.
