There are unwritten rules for driving everywhere and one reason everyone thinks drivers from other states are terrible is that they are not adhering to the same unwritten rulebook.

Back when I commuted more regularly, the traffic around the beginning of September was always particularly awful. My assumption was that school was back in session and that, as a result, you had a lot of people with new travel routes who weren't quite up on the patterns at various rotaries and other traffic chokepoints.

One unwritten rule is - evidently - to attempt to limit speed in the passing lane so that those who wish to pass must do so in the right lanes. Also: brake-check anyone who annoys you.

This on I5 in Oregon. I was so happy to cross the border into Washington.
