Surprisingly enough, Los Angeles has much better and more considerate drivers on average than other places in the USA. I've driven in most states and in some, between the drivers and the road surfaces, driving is a hugely unpleasant experience.
Here in MInneapolis, driving is not too bad w the exception of lane merging etiquette. People simply will not extend the courtesy of letting you in front of them. When I do it here, (such as allowing someone exiting a business trying to enter traffic), they look at me like I have 3 heads before thanking me profusely and jumping in.
Alternately, when I have my turn signal on to change lanes, (often into an exit lane), and a car tries to speed up to "close the gap", I simply turn into them. The sound of tires screeching and rims hitting curbs is like music to my ears. If someone wants to turn driving into a football game and run a blocking pattern, I'm in! I love sports!
