Funny, I moved here from DC and can’t stop raving about how humane the drivers are. Sure, assholes are everywhere, but Pittsburgh has been a massive improvement over the horror that is our nation’s capital.

Literally same thoughts when I see these types of posts. Pittsburgh drivers are actually quite considerate compared to other places I’ve lived.

I was about to say this, but with Philly. Pittsburgh drivers are a dream compared to Philly drivers. You take your life in your hands every time you get in a car in that city 😆

Oh my god I was on the Garden State Parkway once... never again.

With that said, since moving back from the tristate area I have notice a level of aggressiveness and carelessness in Pittsburgh drivers, and I lived here for 10 years prior to covid. I don't understand the constant rush or the aggression.

Of course, DC one of those most congested areas in the nation. This is probably more general though. I'm sure driving has gotten worse everywhere, and I have a feeling the pandemic has something to do with it.

The thing about driving in DC is everyone drives slower. They know someone is going to pop out in front of them, I think they drive more defensively than aggressively.

Tell that to anybody who drives in Maryland 😂

There is a difference in driving in MD and in DC though.

Just left the DMV and anytime I saw maryland plates on the beltway I got a lane away.
