Driving in California

See, this is funny to me because I am a born and raised Californian. However, I am constantly amazed on how Californian's seem to adapt all the driving rules to their own needs. I guess they are more subjective than concrete, but eh, what do I know? So far the rules that I have seen that are newly adapted are (in no particular level of importance):

1. A car that is backing up has the right-of-way
2. Blinkers are always optional
3. You do not need to slow down to turn a corner
4. The line to stop at a red light is on the other side of the crosswalk, not in front of it
5. Pedistrians never get the right-of-way
6. Whenever a light is not working at an intersection, just go whenever you feel like it. There is no right-of-way!
7. You have to go 15-20 miles over the speed limit at all times
8. Slow traffic is supposed to be in the left lane
9. Using a cell phone while driving makes you a more alert driver
10. Everyone needs to get our of YOUR way
