I take 80 East and 101 South from San Francisco quite often. On some days I take 80 first, then come back to the city and rive to San Mateo or Santa Clara county in the afternoon. Every time I do this, I can't help but be amazed at the difference in the driving "culture" between the two destinations. For obvious reasons, 101 South carries more "high end" cars and drivers, many of whom are in executives positions at many of the software companies in the Silicon Valley area. Many of those drivers are in a rush, especially during the morning commute hours. Many of them are very aggressive drivers who must believe that they deserve to be ahead of everyone, which is less typical of the "middle class" drivers, that travel through Alameda, Contra Costa, and Solano and other neighboring counties. I am sure that if I counted how many times I see drivers switch lanes in front me on 101, that number will far exceed the same number on I-80. That, along with the fact that 101 South is more narrow in may areas and much more curvy than I-80 increases the likelihood of a serious injury accident in the San Mateo / Santa Clara counties.
