I have driven in most of these cities when on holiday.I have got to say the sat nav in cars make it so much easier these days.I cannot believe i drove around L.A.,Atlanta,Dallas etc just using a map and remembering prominent landmarks for direction back before sat navs.
I must confess i did get lost a few times and stopped to ask directions in areas maybe i should not have stopped but ,i'm still here to tell the tale.As for A..hole drivers(How do they pass their driving test?) they are a world wide phenomenon i'm afraid.

The BQE in NYC at nighttime. You are elevated high, it’s hard to see the highway markings, there are maniac yellow cab drivers cutting you off from every which way. A real adventure.
The only people that that I see struggling to drive in Jersey are the ones doing ONLY 65 in a 50 in the left lane and they almost always have NY plates
NYC isn't that bad if you're used to normal city driving. I am. But for many people born and raised in the suburbs and smaller cities, NYC can be intimidating because of the size, the narrow streets, the crazy cabbies, the tunnel/bridge entrances/exits, etc. Jersey should technically be easy to drive in because it's suburban and full of highways, but the on/off ramps can be downright terrifying to figure out here, everyone (including me) drives like they're running late to pick up a million dollars, and the potholes are outrageous.
I've gotten used to driving in downtown Los Angeles and San Francisco, would that be good enough to adapt to NYC driving?

DTLA isn't big enough to really count IMO. Driving in SF, though, yes. With the pedestrians downtown, the one-way streets, the long stretches of no left turns so you have to make three rights, the several street grids overlapping so you're trying to find your proper lane while dodging bicyclists/pedestrians/tourists/trolleys/buses. SF definitely prepares one to drive in NYC. But just remember how much larger NYC is geographically than SF too lol. All that that you're doing lasts for much longer.
Driven in Texas, DC, Philly, etc. There is not a more careless and selfish group of drivers as there is in the Denver Metro. Kind of shocked.
Is it all the Angelenos moving there? Lol
