Full time Coachella Valley residents know: snow birds are the worst at driving.
So what are the worst things they do on Highway 111 and other roads in the Greater Palm Springs area? Here they are, ranked from bad to worst:
20) Not making a right tun on red
19) Driving with the turn signal on for no reason
18) Taking what feels like 3 days to actually change lanes
17) Buying all of their vehicles out of state or country – so as to avoid CA registration fees (which pay for the roads they are on)
16) Taking forever to pull in or out of a parking space
15) Overshooting the intersection at a red light
14) Driving through a local business (this ranks much higher if it is your business)
13) Making illegal u-turns
12) Driving the same speed as the car next to them so no one can ever pass
11) Making turns and lane changes without using the turn signal
10) Leaving that huge gap of 10 car lengths in front of them at a red light when you are behind and just need them to pull up 2 or 3 feet so you can pull into the turn lane
9) Parking like this:
8) Completely forgetting how a four-way stop is supposed to work
7) Stopping for no reason (or constantly breaking for no reason)
6) Pulling out onto the road from a driveway without looking
5) Cutting across multiple lanes during heavy traffic
4) Not stopping for pedestrians at an intersection
3) Driving in 2 lanes at the same time
2) Cutting you off
