Same in my maryland town - so many Va drivers cut through here to get to DC. They tail gate, blow stop signs, speed in residential area, don’t stop at pedestrian crossings, honk unnecessarily, and don’t let others merge in when they can.


People Driving from one state to another probably have long commutes and behave worse is states where they they think people don’t recognize them.


You’re brilliant. I’m positive it is the answer, because every time my husband gets cut off, it’s a Maryland driver. I don’t keep score.

VA, DC and MD are equally horrible drivers. Do everyone a huge favor stay out of the left lane and keep to the right! Teach your children, too.
You do realize that there is still a speed limit in the left lane, right?


I guarantee you're a worse driver than someone who goes above the speed limit. Safe driving is about having control of your vehicle and being able to adjust with the flow... not go a monotonous speed set long ago and think it's fine.



Not one of those cars going 30 miles faster than everyone else in all three lanes and weaving in and out like a video game has the skills they think they have. I hate driving to Maryland because I always see these nuts. Groups of them. It’s not just speeding - it’s reckless weaving in and out way faster than the flow of traffic AND way above the speed limit.

It's BECAUSE of the transplants. The mix of transplants, natives, immigrants, transients. It's all of the DC metro area, equally terrible. Case closed.

For alcohol laws, Maryland is ridiculous.
Maryland's flag sucks.
Can't easily park in close-in MD. Parking garage for target? No thank you. But then VA is full of parking lots, driving driving everywhere.

And Bethesda is the hands off winner for awful people that are oblivious to others sharing their space. Not all Bethesdans (I'm one) but you know who they are. (They don't)



I agree, it's non-natives who are by far the problem drivers.

But MD flag sucking? What are you talking about? MD flag is cool as F.


I’m from MD and tired of the flag.


Plus, the MD flag is racist.

A good driver is able to adjust to the situation accordingly. There are so, so, sooooo many MD drivers who lack this critical yet simple ability.


I find the same is true of Va drivers -

This thread belongs in cars not off topic ….

So people in VA don’t like MD because drivers. That’s rational. Not schools or green space or traffic or activities or like minded people - just drivers. This is hilarious.

You don’t think Fairfax County types are worse?


It’s the whole state. Annapolis , eastern shore blah blah blah… crabcakes, lacrosse, private schools, country clubs, sailing, blah blah blah … Big Ten
UMD, Hopkins, Navy… even DC and Georgetown are embedded in Md. They own the Potomac River which is kind of infuriating. Just so arrogant.



Yes !!

Plus when UMD screwed the ACC financially by leaving for the Big Ten .. ugh.
