As someone who has lived (and driven) in both, my take on RI drivers is that there is an abnormally high %-age of "squatters" and "zoomers". Squatters get into the left most lane and stay there, regardless of if they are passing or not. Zoomers are constantly changing lanes, passing on the right, etc.

Now the question is: Are there more zoomers because there are more squatters, or vice versa?
