Similar, yes, but not the same.  Southern Cal drivers, who spend a great
deal of time on freeways (I lived there for 20+ years) are better at
maintaining traffic flow.  It is a pleasure to drive on LA freeways.
Up north (where I've been for 6 years) it is not quite so, but still OK.
People don't think as much about smooth flow and merging.  Compared to
the East (I assume) it's still pussy cats on the road.  Downtown San
Francisco is an island of wildness, though.  You must be aggressive but
fair, or you'll be stuck politely signalling for hours.
