I was born and raised here and after serving in Cali with the military - our drivers are quite sane compared to Cali. As for Tucson roads, my sainted mother always said Tucson was the only city she knew of who could take a pothole and turn it over into a bump. Driving down Stone downtown was a fast was to check how tough you suspension was. Hell, it took MANY accidents on Hacienda del Sol for them to finally split it and close it off to morons, like yours truly. River Road infamous Dead Mans Curve lasted for decades before being renovated into something approaching sanity.
Phoenix...I drive up there usually once a week and I don't see many complete idiots, but the ones I do see tend to have out of state plates and be, (relatively), old. The locals who are bad are the kids with ht roads and blasting stereos and of course the newly legalized recreational dope won't help much.
Oil on the road? Hell yes, if thee isn't enough, let somebody drive by in a rust bucket and add some more...we have to have the slippery oily roads, especially for the fast drivers. Oddly enough, rusted cars come from places where they salt the roads for snow...we don't ever salt the roads. We DO "chip seal", which lays out enough sticky gravel to ruin your lower paint job and put nice nicks in your windshield. Yes, AZ roads are NOT well laid out for drainage - drive down Alvernon in Tucson and see how it was designed as an open air sewer. We get so little rain that we forget about it until it hits and everybody goes nuts.
The wrong way drivers have always been here, but in 40 years of driving in this state and others, I do not recall ever seeing one.
Perhaps I will find an old cash transport armored truck as a daily driver instead. I was in one that was hit by a mobile home on a transporter. House was trashed, truck was fine...only time I was in a stationary vehicle hit by a moving house.
