Some of the most frightening times in my life have occurred since I moved to California. I am a good driver, a damn good driver and 2-3 times a year I am shocked out of my gourd to have a cycle zip past me just when I have been initiating a lane change. I literally have to pull over to get my heart beating normally again.
I saw more accidents in my year in Cali than I have seen total in the other 21 years of driving.
Cali is so full of people who should not have a license its rediculous.
I didn’t even commute on the interstates there, I lived less than 3 miles from where I worked, so most of my commuting was along city streets, and el camino real, and I can tell you, I saw more accidents in that 1 year than anywhere else... At least every other day there was one. Most were minor, but still, the sheer stupidity of many drivers out there is amazing.
