I’ve noticed that. Living in Virginia I see the folks going north and south on the 95, and almost always without exception the PA drivers are tailgating, passing, going 20 above the speed limit.

Definitely. If I had to generalize license plate behavior based on my experience here -

NJ - Drive like they're in NYC, no turn signals, will try to merge/squeeze into 3 inches of space.

NY - Must not have lane rules, they just sit in the left lane regardless of speed.

PA - Highly aggressive and dangerous. Will tailgate you, will brake check you, will drive 30 over and punish you if you happen to block their path.

FL - Wildcard. Everyone is from one of the above, so who knows which you'll be dealing with.

In NorCal on the 5 you might also see a fully tinted purple low riding car every few weeks (I'm talking about a specific vehicle I see because I drive it all the time) with Washington plates that drives like a bat out of hell. Not that native CA drivers are much better, but they are.
