Eh, I think people pretty much drive like freakin' morons on freeways around here. However, what enforcement there is is not useful; at least 2 out of every 3 cops that I see are just parked in the median, either running radar or watching cars go by (I don't use my V-1 anymore as most of the time I am in Virginia or DC even though I live in Maryland) and that doesn't help the real problems at all. I would love to see cops actively patrolling the freeways and ticketing people for unsafe lane changes, unsafe merges, not signalling, improper light use (high beams, rear fogs, etc.) LLBing, etc. etc. etc. (well they can't ticket people for LLBing in Maryland, but I'd still like to see it) but I am not holding my breath waiting for that to happen.
I have just pretty much accepted that freeways around here are a lawless mess, and the best I can do is simply try to keep from being collected by one of the many morons out there and at the same time not get picked up by the revenue patrol. Fortunately my reflexes haven't failed me yet, but it does take constant attention. Just yesterday I had a Yukon try to merge into my pbuttenger door, despite more than ample space ahead of and behind me (couldn't move left, because his onramp turned into my exit ramp...)
