Letter: California drivers are the worst

Friday, Sept. 27, 2002 | 9:19 a.m.

In response to the many letters you have been receiving on the drivers here in Las Vegas ( the most recent one from the gentleman who stated he has driven in every major city, including Paris, but Las Vegas has the most inconsiderate, obnoxious drivers of all):

Well, my friend, I don't know how much time you have spent driving on Los Angeles freeways. Check with the DMV here on the number of drivers this town has absorbed from the L.A. area compared to other parts of the country. I think you will understand why, if you moved here in the last few years, your car insurance premium has almost tripled.

One more caveat. A few years ago, up in the Pacific Northwest, there was also a large influx of California drivers moving there. Well, the big screaming cry then was, "Don't Californicate us"!
