Bad Drivers?

Okay, maybe it's just me, but it seems like everybody complains about bad drivers in their state. There are some seriously dumb things that happen in Utah.

For example!

In my walk to or from campus I cross many streets. Most of them are no big deal, but there is one street that is really busy (700 N, I think?) that I usually have to wait at. Sometimes drivers are nice and they'll stop the flow of traffic for me, which is awesome when there's literally a mile of cars coming from each direction. However, something I think is WAY dumb is when there is only one car, and I think to myself: "Okay, after this car passes, I will cross!" But then that one car sees me, and thinks, "Oh my gosh that poor pedestrian in distress! I know! I'll get some extra blessings today by stopping and letting them go!" But then I just get confused and I can't tell if they're stopping for me or turning or if they plan on going through the intersection...this bothers me because it would have been quicker for me if they had just kept driving. I don't cross whenever people do that. I get a lot of dirty looks. Whatever! You don't have a stop sign!!! :P 

(usually now I try and hide behind these big flag hangers that are right on the corner so cars like that don't see me!)

Another time (at the same intersection) I saw a car (that didn't have a stop sign, or any traffic behind it) that stopped to let the car with the stop sign go through the intersection. The car with the stop sign was totally just like, "???" And the car without the stop sign was totally trying to wave the stopped car on. Then the car without a stop sign got upset and fumed off in an angry stomp-on-the-gas-pedal-and-make-it-roar rage. :o

Anyway, I came across this article the other day about Utah Drivers:
Driving Critic: Utah drivers are really that bad

The article was a lol. An open book test? Really?
I don't drive in Utah really because I don't have a car. When we were moving to Provo, my husband was driving a van that was towing all of our stuff in a Uhaul. A young female driver with big sunglasses tried to merge into the lane that we were in, which would have been fine except she almost merged directly into us. So we had one of those eye contact moments where it's like, "OMG, look out wat r u doingggggz?!" And she looked at us angrily and made some hand gestures. Need I mention, she was on a cell phone, too?

Anyway, we borrowed a rental car yesterday to help us finish moving our things into our new apartment. As soon as we pulled out of the lot, it was like every car in the world decided to cut in front of us or do something ridiculous. Also, in my 25mph neighborhood, the cars do like 50mph. However, when we were driving to Orem on the 50mph road, the cars were only doing like 35mph. What's going on here?!

Does anybody else have experiences like this? :o
