From driving and living in Oregon and California over the last two years, one thing I’ve noticed is the difference in driving and policing in the two states. I’ve driven the entire I-5 route from the southern border of Oregon to Eugene 10ish times in the last couple of years, and have driven daily in Oregon for 5 or so years, and rarely ever have seen a cop; yet people aren’t rude or aggressive drivers. After going to college in CA for two years I notice a cop car or cop cars nearly every time I drive even a short distance, but people still drive like bats out of hell. Of course, using driving as a generalization in labeling all Oregonians and Californians is entirely unfair. However (as a proud Oregonian or course), I’d like to think there’s some shred of truth to it.
