What IS the worst you've seen there?!


As Dave Barry said in a column a long time ago, "In Boston, the
drivers refuse to obey even the laws of physics."

I learned to drive in and around NYC. I've driven coast to coast
and in 46 of the 50 states. Drivers everywhere have their own
local stupid driving tricks. Once you figure out the local tricks,
you can predict what sort of stupid things the cars around you are
likely to do. Drivers in Boston are so unpredictable that I never
got comfortable driving there.

Driving rules in NYC are easy. It just comes down to right of
mass, being willing to drive within millimeters of another car,
and knowing when to flinch. And taxi cabs always win.
