They are the worst drivers in the country. What’s interesting is a particularly bad one will honk at you for NOT breaking the law. Driving only a few miles OVER the speed limit? Stopping at a Red Light? yielding the right-of-way? Honk Honk, and look for the optional finger!
But it doesn’t stop there. I got honked at for stopping on an off-ramp this morning because there were 3 cars stopped ahead of me.
Yep not only will you be honked at for obeying the traffic laws, you’ll get honked at for obeying the laws of physics!!!
Seriously? Have you ever driven inside the DC Beltway, or in the Philly environs?
I got TDY’d to Boston in October for a couple of days, and unless y’all got some serious Jekyll and Hyde drivers during rush hour (I carefully timed my ingress and egress) the drivers barely rated on my personal whackjob scale. Worse than Northern NJ drivers, I’ll grant, but that’s damning with faint praise. NNJ drivers are agressive enough to get traffic flowing, but have heard of alternate merge and turn signals.
(Boston peds on the other hand, are suicidal and infectious. I damn near got run over by a cop because they got into my brain and made me think it was a good idea to jaywalk).
