    what a poorly thought out thread.

    what do you expect to happen here?

    Highest accident rate but lowest fatality rate. We don't mind bending a little sheetmetal but we aren't about to kill people.

    I moved to burbs of Boston from MO and knew I was way out of my league for driving around there. 3 years later move to CO and figured out I turned into one the biggest asshole drivers in a short time.

    Boston does have a driving style.... no blinkers, brake late, lane change quick/often and bumpers are for bumping. Learned alot.

    I'll take Boston drivers over pretty much anyone out West. I have things to do and it shouldn't take twice as long as necessary to get there, if it means trading a little paint, so be it.

    Id wager the I70 shitshow would be half as bad if it was filled with Massholes.

    You'd make GREAT time.

    Ever drive in Portland? Painfully slow...people drive 5 MPH below posted speed limits just for shits and giggles.
    Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

    I had not expected, but an not surprised, to see you respond with inane drivel. You need to STFU and go to sleep. Cunt.

    Man, overall fatality rate Nation-wide has been cut in half over those 20 years. Wow.

    That's bullshit. I've lived most of my life in New York and Boston (what the fuck is wrong with me?) and New York is much worse. Boston drivers are aggressive and impatient but predictable. The style may be shocking to outsiders, but one can adapt. It's sort of like Italy, but people pay more attention.

    New York is terrible. Traffic laws are neither obeyed or enforced. It's hard to go anywhere without coming across someone who is either angry, stupid, or insane. It's a melting pot of shitty driving culture.

    Worcester was worst out of 200 cities, but they're all drunk.

    That's because they're afraid of being shamed by the "SHARE THE ROAD!!!!" crowd.

    Some great responses here.

    Yeah, but it's like war these days. More survive maimed. Airbags and quicker response time.

    I was sitting in a 58 Caddy like my Mom had, and remembered that we didn't wear seat belts and the dash was metal.

    I blame the ever evolving immigrant population, and just the general nastiness of the newly rich type As who instantly turn into assholes in an automobile. Google may cure this problem.

    Ha ha... I like driving in Boston, but it's true, I feel like an asshole everywhere else. And I use my blinkers, keep good distances, and don't flip off more than one person per car. Driving in Jamaica, my Jamaican friend was amazed at my ability to out "juke" the locals. I felt right at home.

    In New York, it's the cabbies who suck. Take two lanes, drive slow and don't use signals...

    It's just that they are all two generations removed from horse and buggy.

    This thread is like two lactose intolerant imbeciles arguing over which cheese is worse without ever eating the unpasteurized stuff. Digest the cheese in Seattle and then check your shitter. It'll be annihilated.

    Imagine how this Masshole feels living in Munich. The BMW drivers-- which is everyone here-- drive like the stereotype, but damn do they follow the rules. Just read Michael Lewis on German traffic jams...

    It's very easy to drive in Boston you just have to remember, show fear and you're fucked.
    Damn, we're in a tight spot!
