Oh, they notice everything! You only *think* that they are not looking
around them. The trick of driving in Boston is to move your eyes,
never your head. It is pretty much the same theory as not making eye
contact on the NY subway.

The leading cause of traffic accidents in Boston is two cars trying to
hit
the same pedestrian.

The truly amazing thing is that Massachusetts has the lowest traffic
fatality rate and one of the lowest accident rates in the country. I was
never able to figure that one out.

My theory is that our crosssections are very low because of the high driving
speed. So it's like hitting one bullet with another.
