Bad Drivers

Is it possible they are driving badly because they are unfamiliar with the area? They are looking for and seeing signs at the last minute, leaving them with the option of veering across lanes of traffic to get their turn, or missing thier turn and getting really lost.

I'm a better driver in my own neck of the woods than in some strange city.

Rotten traffic signs are another pet peeve of mine. (Most new signs are getting better, and the practice of having the street sign hung in the middle of the intersection where possible is a great one. But some of the signage around Delaware County seems designed on the premise of "if you don't know where you're going, we don't want you here." Which is probably true in many communities.) But it doesn't matter how lost people are, they shouldn't do things in traffic that can get themselves &/or other people killed.
