I wondered about that, too... In Boston, it definitely seemed like the right-of-way goes to whoever catches you making eye contact with them, or whoever doesn't chicken out first.
Also seemed like the lines in middle of road were something used to line up with your hood ornament or something.
That being said - yea, Bay Area drivers can be rough to deal with, too. They do rush around a lot, and get very centered on themselves. Ever seen the people driving up 280 putting on make up, or with newspapers spread out over the steering wheel?
I hate driving in San Francisco. But what I also hate is that it seemed a lot easier if I let myself fall into aggressive driving mode myself...
