People in Silicon Valley

People drive much, much slower up here than they do down in Southern California. I was driving home at 10pm the other day and all the cars were going about 60 mph. In Southern California, at 10pm, the average car speed would probably be more like 75 mph. I'm not really loving the slower driving. On the other hand, I've experienced more road rage up here than I did in SoCal. Just yesterday, some BMW driver got angry at me for making him merge behind me on the freeway, and tailgated me all the way to my exit where he then tried to scare me off of the exit by going around me.
