The Northeast in general has relatively aggressive driving, I wouldn’t say it’s just Baltimore-Washington. Pretty much every stereotype of Jersey drivers or Massholes can be assigned to us all.

That being said, the fact that Baltimore-Washington has so many non-native drivers (both to the region and country) means you see a lot of varying ideas of what the “right” way to drive is. That’s obviously bound to cause issues.

I completely agree. I should have noted that this is the first time I've lived specifically in this region. The mix of driving methods and ideas makes for a wild time guessing how people are gonna act. And it may be a bias, but I've noticed that Jersey plates here in Maryland drive especially crazy when compared to others.

Another basic rule of driving in Maryland: the minute you see Pennsylvania tags, get away as quickly as possible. They suck at driving.
