    Hey, the drivers in my state are fine. It’s the drivers in the neighboring state that are all reckless idiots who don’t know to drive.

          Drove through VA once, and we were amazed at how good the drivers were. Normal speeds, being predictable instead of trying to be “polite”, not sitting in the passing lane for miles, it was crazy.

            The only big problem with drivers in VA, imo, is that while they’re good they’re competitive within the bounds of good. And moreso within/near city or big town limits. Really this just means that if you turn on your indicator to show that you’re trying to change lanes, many VA drivers will speed up to pass you to allow you to merge behind them rather than in front of them. Comparatively not a big deal, but I didn’t even realize this was a thing until I lived in NC and regularly experienced people happily making way for me to merge when I indicated.

            If it makes you feel better, I think you guys are a better state in almost every other way but driving 😂

            edit: Genuinely y’all might have the best state flag in the nation, and that’s coming from a Virginian and our flag is pretty fucking great
