Yes, that's exactly the point I was trying to make. What is often labeled incompetence is most often just the mismatch of styles that you mention. I noticed this especially in DC, since DC has the combined traffic of > several states.

Well, maybe not glad, but at least it confirms my point. What was really crazy was driving from rural Virginia to DC. outside the metro area, the traffic runs at a pace just slightly quicker than horse and buggy. But as you approach the district, it gets much faster and more unpredictable. Luckily, taking the Metro proved to be the somewhat less insane. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
