driven there plenty of times, though more the FT Lauderdale area. same as CA where I have relatives. Traffic and idiot drivers are in both areas, sure. However, we will have to agree to disagree, I will maintain that US drivers are more law abiding than most of the world.

Does that mean there aren't idiots? no.

I haz driven in

Mumbai, India
Karachi, Pakistan (in fact a lot of Pakistan)
Bangkok, Thailand
London, UK
Nice - etc etc. France - went through it to drive to Italy - hate french parking assist system, your car is their tool for parking. bump, dent, scratch etc.
Houston, USA - boring, maniac trucks everywhere and people assuming that their little cubes of privacy would repel laws of physics, recently I saw a suburban cut me off on the highway, slide out of control, hit the HOV divider and topple sideways - YUP, youse donts treats a truck like a Lotus Elise.
Chicago, USA (you boys better explain the ban on U turns there)

US traffic is a breath of fresh air compared to India and Pakistan. - traffic there is umm lets say - INCREDIBLy insane.
