Massholes are incapable of 1) paying attention to literally any other vehicle on the road 2) looking left as they approach an intersection before pulling half out into the road 3) turning their steering wheel more than once when making a turn.
I do not know how 99% of the people on the road in this state got their licenses. (10 year transplant from NM)
People are also afraid to use their gas pedal. It's ok to use it to get up to speed at a sufficient pace or even to get you into a better position when changing lanes.
But also, as a native Californian who’s been here well over a decade at this point, there are some on/off-ramps here that are just comically sketchy. Like, a stop sign, a sharp right turn, and a major road that typically runs at 60mph with a decently high average traffic load.
Agreed, it seems out west on/off ramps are configured that the off ramp is before the on ramp, where as more often that not here the off ramp is like 100 feet down the road from the on ramp causing horrible bottlenecks.
