NYC is peaches compared to DC. I have never seen drivers as BAD as Maryland, Nova, and the District. In NY or NJ if you want to pass, you flick your high beams at the car in front of you. The car then gets over to the right letting you pass. On the beltway if you try this the A**hole in front of you immediately slams on his brakes then paces the guy in the right lane. This leads to amazing traffic jams around DC. Factor in all the Congressional staffers who think their poop is made of rose petals and you have all the ingredients for a disaster - and you get one every rush hour.

Inside DC it is even worse with all traffic signals being optional

Add in the amount of construction plus the streets that are blocked off for security concerns and you have a nightmare!

In NY everybody works together. Of course that could just be survival of the fittest
