Stay off the California highways!

I am now a licensed California driver with ingrained Chicago habits!

1. You will learn

That L.A. drivers will give you fits with their random acts of lunacy. They are a little slower in Ventura County though. They have no clue on how to merge!

2. In any case, you'll only be going 10 miles an hour.

:D

3. Your paltry Chicago ways won't help you.

Welcome to the big leagues.

11. oh, i've done theater in chi town, but i never drove a car, only trains...

trains, trains everywhere but you should do just fine...depending on where you end up = it's a big ole state top to bottom, yo :hi:

7. OH?

9. Self confidence is good.

But within a year you'll be just as condescending to other states' drivers as we are. :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Like these guys?

[fishwax]

6. I like how Chicago drivers aren't shy about "reverse"

I've never seen so many people backing up on city streets as I have in Chicago, including backing back through intersections in order to take a turn they'd apparently missed. Good stuff :toast:

10. Actually YOU will be one of the BEST drivers out here

You will probably not freak out when it RAINS (actually more often a soft drizzle, that sends Californiacs careening into each other like a pinball machine)... and if the wind starts blowing a little dust, you will probably not freask out and hit your brakes every 4 seconds..

And if it ever snows (like it did today...a dusting), you will not be contemplating slitting your wrists as you try to navigate the BLIZZARD...:rofl:

and you probably will not yet have mastered the art of reading a magazine, eating a bagel, doing make-up and yakking on the cell phone, while you "move two feet..stop...move two feet..stop..(rinse & repeat)
