^ Okay now you guys are just messing around! There might be few exceptions/crazy drivers (they are everywhere) but none of these bad driving symptoms are overwhelmingly prevalent in greater Richmond area.....

Shall we discuss roundabout use as nearly no one actually yields to cars already in the circle. I've already seen a few multicar pile ups at Westchester Commons.

I think Richmond drivers are very polite. Just incompetent. So no rudeness, in my experience, but crashes with no justification? Pretty common.

I have banned my wife from the highways during rain. It's just not safe to be on a wet road with richmonders. At least on local roads your chance of survival goes up.

Note - I am pro Richmond, it's a great place to live and this is a minor flaw.

I totally agree. I feel much safer using side/back roads rather than the main roads. Maybe its bad multitasking training.
