I am sooo not surprised. I've never met such rude drivers as those crusty affluent in Carmel By The Sea, CA. Those people purposely ran right through 4-way stops signs and would not let you have a turn to proceed. I finally got mad enough to just thrust my rental car into the intersection, daring them to hit me with their expensive jalopies! :lol: They did not leave a good impression on me.
I think that you might be assigning their poor driving to their affluence without considering some of their other fine points, namely that they're mostly old, and probably half blind and deaf. The ones you encountered are actually likely to be lovely people, they just shouldn't be driving. Their poster child is, after all, their former mayor, Clint "Get off my lawn" Eastwood.
