Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / January 2006NYC -> Seattle
NYC is the Center of the Universe - right at the times square. There is no more impressive a place on planet earth to live than Manhattan and Brooklyn. Cheers to the WTC, the Brooklyn Bridge, the statue of Liberty, the major arts centers, universities, and so on and so on. Seattle Washington however has the best motorists/drivers that I have yet to see. All of it's major intersections perfectly controlled. East- >From what I have seen so far. Seattle Washington is hands down. The very best city to be living in - in the lower 48 states. #1 on the best city list is Honolulu Hawaii.

All of it's major intersections perfectly controlled. Why do you keep posting all this pro-Seattle crap? Everyone I know who's ever lived in or visited Seattle has complained about the bad drivers, and insufficient freeways. Have you drank too much coffee or something? Relax dude. Seattle has plenty of traffic problems, just like everywhere. Dave > >NYC is the Center of the Universe - right at the times square.

Seattle is a city that has consistently been seriously underrated. Frisco on the other hand has been consistently overrated.

Yeah..... if you're in love with rain, pretentious coffee shops, left-wing politicians, more rain, and -- oh! did I mention rain? > <eastwardbound2003@yahoo.com> wrote in message > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Yeah..... if you're in love with rain, pretentious coffee shops, left-wing > politicians, more rain, and -- oh! did I mention rain? Gets less rain per year than NYC. Pretentious coffee shops? You mean the clientele, right? Or if you mean Starbucks, I can't imagine a more mainstream sort of thing. Sorta like McCoffee, really. Left-wing politicians? Yeah, plenty of them. Just slightly more than right-wing wackos. Got that flavor there, too.

I-5 sucks a.s, especially n-bound after the (former) brewery approaching Seneca. Then it opens up in the U-district (sometimes) only to getting crushingly bad all the way from Northgate to Everett. Heck, If I didn't like to see the Needle and cross the floating bridge across Mercer Island, I would skip it and take 405 to 90 East. I prefer driving in San Diego over Seattle. Any time. Seattle drivers better educated? What a load of horseshit. From a Seattle native. E.P. Dillholes and idiots abound, no lane discipline at all I have driven in both Seattle and San Diego. San Diego is terrible. Especially once it rains since So.Californians simply do not know how to drive in the rain. Seattle is much more consistant since it rains there all the time. East- >I have driven in both Seattle and San Diego. San Diego is terrible. So you say, my friends who have lived in both disagree. Maybe buy a map next time. >Especially once it rains since So.Californians simply do not know how >to drive in the rain. Seattle is much more consistant since it rains >there all the time. It rained here in SD 8 days in the first year I lived here. A trick: call in sick if it rains, or take the trolley. Dave Hogan >>I have driven in both Seattle and San Diego. San Diego is terrible. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Dave Hogan How true as I live Seattle and what a joke this place is. Even though it rains here quite a bit, it still takes them 3-4 days of rain to figure out how to drive in the rain again. Just check out WS DOT traffic flow maps and see how good puget sound area is to drive in. Also it takes them forever to figure out that a green light means go, not wait for 5 seconds and then go. I know what you are all going to say as they are making sure no one is running a red light and 90% of the time you can figure that out in about 1/2 a sec. I lived in So Cal and they are not much better either. We need to get all drivers in the US educated on how to drive and I think they should introduce the German driving and written test over here. Then we could have autobahns, 90% yield signs instead 90% stop signs and roundabouts at appropriate locations instead of traffic lights, then we should be able to get somewhere instead of waiting in traffic 90% of the time. Are you supporting 4 way yield intersection in low to medium density residential neighborhoods?

That is going to kill a lot of people! >> > Are you supporting 4 way yield intersection in low to medium density >> > residential neighborhoods? > >That is going to kill a lot of people! Exactly how? The speed limit in residential neighborhoods is 20MPH. If you are too f.cking stupid to avoid an accident with yield signs, you are too stupid to avoid them with stop signs. ************************* Dave > NYC is the Center of the Universe - right at the times square.
