I moved a few years ago from Michigan to Maryland. Maryland drivers are horrible, but at least they drive fast. Fifteen over the speed limit is about average. Detroit area drivers are fast, aggressive and good.
Turn signals are a sign of weakness and it’s not really tailgating unless the bumpers are touching.
Ah yes the Maryland tailgater. Famous throughout the I-95 corridor.
In California, one way to see what kind of acceleration someone's car is capable of is to signal a lane change into the space in front of them.
