The Key to Identifying Where a Driver is From
- Chicago - One hand on wheel, one hand on horn.
- New York - One hand on wheel, one finger out window.
- Boston - One hand on wheel, one hand on newspaper, foot solidly on accelerator.
- California - One hand on wheel, cradling cell phone, brick on accelerator.
- Los Angeles - With gun in lap.
- Ohio - Both hands on wheel, eyes shut, both feet on brake, quivering in terror, but driving in California.
- Italy - Both hands in air, gesturing, both feet on accelerator, head turned to talk to someone in back seat.
- Seattle - One hand on latte, one knee on wheel, cradling cell phone, foot on brake, mind on game.
- Texas city male - One hand on wheel, one hand on hunting rifle, alternating between both feet being on the accelerator and both on the brake, throwing a McDonalds bag out the window.
- Texas country male - One hand on wheel, one hand hanging out the window, keeping speed steadily at 70mph, driving down the center of the road unless coming around a blind curve, in which case they are on the left side of the road.
- Texas female - One hand constantly refocusing the rear-view mirror to show different angles of the BIG hair, one hand going between mousse, brush, and rat-tail to keep the helmet hair going, both feet on the accelerator, poodle steering the car, chrome .38 revolver with mother of pearl inlaid handle in the glove compartment.
- West Virginia - Four-wheel drive pickup truck, shotgun mounted in rear window, beer cans on floor, squirrel tails attached to antenna.
- Florida - Two hands gripping wheel, blue hair barely visible above window level, driving 35MPH on the interstate in the left lane with the left blinker on.
- Colorado: One hand on wheel, one hand holding cell phone, both feet on accelerator, weaving from lane to lane without turn signals, wearing a parka, shorts, and Birkenstocks. Thanks Ian Healy of EDog's Everything Page for the addition of Colorado.

Don't forget about Little Rhody!
Providence - Left hand on wheel, right hand on shift, seat leaned back, foot on gas, but driver forgets how to get where they are going despite living their whole life in RI.
12.30.07 - 6:45 pm
Now this my friend is alot of work on your part. My goodness!!!!
12.30.07 - 8:01 pm
Hahaha ! that is soooo true ! I travelled through almost all States in the US and there is a lot of truth in these quotes ! And from Italy I can tell you that it is awful to drive there !!
12.30.07 - 8:04 pm

Love the definitions. As a Californian who learned to drive there when you could still do 90+ on the freeways, I can attest that it is accurate.

Around these parts, this pretty much sums up the story with driving: If you are in the left lane and only driving 70 in a 55-65 mph zone, you are considered a road hazard and will be "flipped off" accordingly. If you return the flip, you'll be shot.
Sad but true.

Hahahahaha! I'm OHIO! Happy MM and Happy New Year!

ahem, I am from Michigan and I've been known to be so quick with the middle finger that my poor husband fears I will be murdered when I tick off the wrong person, or rather, when the wrong person ticks me off, I flip them off, and they level an AK47 on my hind end.
It's like looking into a crystal ball when he talks. LOL!

Seattle is actually one hand on latte, one hand scrolling through music, elbow on steering wheel, one foot hovering over break, coasting down the road.
LOL! These were funny.
12.31.07 - 12:42 pm
Tennessee - Car has optional turn signals, driver thinks he's on the track at Bristol or Talladega (NASCAR), Cell phone in one hand, latte in another, gun in lap or on rack in back of the truck, and not a clue as how to drive.
Did I say license optional? Bwahahahhaha!
12.31.07 - 1:26 pm
oops... forgot hound dog in back, sister/wife in front passenger seat (same person - interchangeable) and no teeth.
(did I just say that?)
12.31.07 - 1:32 pm
That's hilarious! I'll have to think of one from Kansas. Although, I tend to drive along the lines of a New Yorker . . .
