All the people from aggressive driving cities brought their aggressive driving tactics to Seattle, which has (had) polite-to-a-fault drivers.

I see people driving slow compared to other states. Yet to come across aggressive driving myself.

Yeah, what's your reference point? I just took a trip to Texas and felt like they were extra aggressive. I get the same vibe in CA.

Definitely see it in pockets here. I came from LA and nothing like the 405 up here but Bellevue and parts of Seattle definitely could give LA a solid run for their money. People just need to relax! It’s actually been sunny this week 🤣🤣

As a pedestrian, I encounter this daily. People are just so aggressive and not careful at all. My partner nearly got run down the other day by a truck turning right on a red (allowed, but it’s their job to be careful!). She was not jaywalking but was crossing on a green, btw.

Driving on i405 has gotten terrible within the last 5 years. I really blame it on the new residents.

like

The 405 has nothing to do with the new resident drivers and everything to do with it being a tiny freeway with 10x the traffic that it was designed to accommodate.

You really think its bad here? I have lived in places like Boston and Chicago so I guess I feel as though it is not that bad haha.

funny

Not anywhere near as aggressive as New Mexico.

Prolly a city vs suburb thing. Things are more hectic in cities while burbs are chill. Compared to other cities’ driving, it’s similar.

I am completing Noogler period this month.
I joined in January with 3-4 years of experience and Google offered me L3 Level and despite having other offers in hand, Google didn’t negotiate. And since Google was my dream company, I joined Google thinking I’ll ask for promotion in one year and do the hardwork.
Till now I wasn’t having any problem. But now it starts mentally for me. So, I referred one of my friend from my same batch of college and previous organisation. contd. in comments!
