    California drivers are terrible.
    Worst I’ve ever seen in any state.

    Thanks for the information. I am going to check them out

    No doubt there are a few idiots on the roads in Socal, but honestly its more about the volume than individual drivers.....the roads are just not made to handle the volume they are forced to. While not really surprising, the OTR drivers more often than not allow you to move from lane to lane....it's the "scooters" that move from # 1 to # 5 lane trying to get home 90 seconds sooner that you have to keep an eye out for

    I don't know guys, our red neck cowboys with balls hanging from the trailer hitches have got to be ranked up there close to the top! Drivers Training - I'm not sure it would sink in to some of our thick headed numskulls.

    Spoke about drivers training with the wife, she wants to really help out driving the rig - she would be a good candidate for RV drivers training, and not just a quick run around an RV lot. Its fine to read a drivers manual or book to get the grasp of the rules and take a quick turn around a lot, but to get the real feel and practice driving at speed on long stretches, changing lanes, following, turning, backing and heavy traffic flow.

    The 10 thru El Paso has been worked on for years, it is getting better...

    Actually yea.
    : )
    I traveled a lot in my career so I was routinely flying into major cities then driving rental cars. I was also in D.C. a lot when I was in the military. All the big cities have congestion and their own share of a-holes. This isn’t a knock on the state, aside from their politics, I love California. But they seem to have a much higher concentration of drivers that text and drive, speed, don’t use blinkers, tailgate and cut you off. Now I understand why they don’t want anyone to have a gun.
