Which southbay freeway has the most morons?

I'm not talking raw number of morons, but the ratio of morons to everyone else. And let us know what kind of morons.

I vote for 85. It seems like there are a LOT of people who obliviously drive 10 mph slower than everyone else in the fast lane, or middle lane, as they create clogs and snag points in the flow of traffic. After a rush hour commute on 85, I feel like committiing suicide.

101 has a lot of morons, but the ratio seems lower.

Sorry, poll only gives 5 options, so no room for 87.

I didn't forget. It didn't make the top 5. See original post:

280- its the closest freeway to the autobahn, yet people still seem to go 65-75 in the fastlane when there are HUGE gaps to the right. Lucky for me all the lemmings stay put and you can pass in the slowlane at anytime.
Its not bad at all though, you can go 90 the whole way if you want.

17 will always be filled with people that dont know what a gas pedal does

101 somebody always stalls in the fastlane.

85 has too many hiding places for teh chips and grooves in freeway make your car sway

its all about swooping people NB17 when a third exit lane opens up before the Lark exit in LosGatos

No, I'm not originally, from "the" socal. But I picked up some of the lingo after spending a few years there. I always get strange looks when I say "the 101" :P

Anyways, the 87 should be on the list

the 880 for some reason i always see "canadians" weaving in and out of traffic at 90mph in their buicks with 22inch chrome wheels. i dont understand why they do it.

oh yeah its, the 880

880 is a nightmare as people weave like crazy. Driving 85, 101, 280 on the Peninsula is pretty laid back compared to 880 and 680.

Like Jdadour mentioned about the huge chrome wheels. It seems ever car on the east pay as 20 inch plus rims whether it is a bucket or a big suv. Scary part is that you see their stock brake calipers and rotors. It is definitely night and day once you cross the dumbarton or san mateo bridge.
