mass drivers are the worst![views:2393][posts:35]______________________________________ [May 13,2007 4:27pm - the_reverend ""] on 93s, some dude cuts across 3 lanes and almost slams into the guy in front of me. that dude slams on his breaks. the retarded driver kicks his car up a notch and smokes his tires on the highway. then on storrow, some dude tries turning into my lane. I lay on my horn and he just keeps coming, starting to pitch me up against the wall. so I slammed on my breaks and he glides right into my lane. I'm still blaring my horn. worst thing is that he got off the highway AFTER me. sunday driver is supose to mean something different. |

| ______________________________________ [May 13,2007 5:40pm - the_reverend ""] I do that so I can pee. |
| ______________________________________ [May 13,2007 5:42pm - hungtableed ""] You should see how people drive down here where I am in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. Let me tell you though, driving on the left side of the road was a fuckin trip. |
| ____________________________________________________ [May 13,2007 6:27pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Yeah people are driving like fucking retards today. |
| ______________________________________ [May 13,2007 6:36pm - the_reverend ""] just since I got the the elks, a car almost took out a motorcycle and another set of cars almost mingled. |
| _____________________________________ [May 13,2007 6:38pm - sacreligion ""] brakes x 2 |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2007 12:26pm - HailAtWork ""] RI is worse |

I'm still blaring my horn. worst thing is that he got off the highway AFTER me. . This happened to me on 495 south. Guy's not even looking merged right into me which caused me to swerve and flip 3 times on the hwy. My 2 yr old son was in the back seat. Somehow, even though the roof is smashed down into the driver seat, we both managed to escape with minor scrapes and bruises. Like you can miss a car flipping on the hwy right? but no he keeps going as if nothing happened. Someone who stopped to help got his plate but he went to court and got off on a " failure to stay within marked lines".. and a $100 fine. that's it. |

| ___________________________________ [May 14,2007 1:18pm - keithnli ""] actually, New Jersey and Virginia drivers I have discovered to be the worst. |
| ________________________________ [May 14,2007 1:31pm - xmikex ""] haha changing lanes in front of people in Massachusetts is like punching someone's mother to some people. At least once or twice a week (and I don't even drive much anymore) I'll pull off a perfectly legal, well timed lane change and still get some anus blasting his horn at me because somehow it's easier to get into a huff over it then to tap the break pedal for 2 seconds. Forget about ever trying to merge lanes with a guy in a pickup truck in the lane. Anyone in Massachusetts that owns a pickup truck (even one of those dumbass little Toyota ones) is convinced they own the entire road, all 3 lanes of highway, and the on and off ramps. They'll actually go out of the way to box you out of a lane change like they're Patrick Ewing going for a rebound. And I've said it before, and I'll say it again... if all the Boston cab drivers vanished overnight the quality of life in Boston would improve 10 fold. oh, and empirical studies have suggested that Rhode Island is in fact the worst driving state. |

| _____________________________________ [May 14,2007 4:17pm - HailAtWork ""] pretty much, I'm convinced that you have to prove beyond a doubt that you don't know how to drive in order to get a license here. |
| _______________________________________ [May 14,2007 4:36pm - y_ddraig_goch ""] Hahah I almost died in Lynn, MA today. I was driving down the street, and all of a sudden some douche bag (in a truck go figure) pulled out of a parking space into my lane very fast. I swear something was in me to make me react so quick, in a matter of seconds I looked into the rear view and swerved into the other lane, if I was off a second my front side would have been totaled. |

People always refuse to follow the rules of traffic when merging. They will always try to fight to get in front of you rather than behind you. If you get ahead of somebody in traffic it's like you just ran up to them on the street when they're with their girlfriends and called them pussies. |
| _________________________________________ [May 14,2007 5:29pm - metal_church101 ""] Boston was rated only the 5th worst city in America to drive in. |

| ______________________________ [May 14,2007 7:58pm - Mess ""] all you old hags from N.H. don't know how to pull over to the right where you belong. you see someone crusing up behind you, pull over? it's as easy as that? |
| _____________________________________________ [May 14,2007 8:11pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] i agree with xmikex that the quality of life in boston would improve greatly if all cabs disappeared. they don't give a shit or a fuck, or a flying fuck for that matter, about anything or anyone except the money they get for whatever it says they're owed on their meters. from my experiences, i would say that CT has the worst drivers overall. since i drive around the entire state every single day, i feel it is justifiable to make this claim. though massachusetts drivers are very aggressive, most CT drivers are fucking dumb as hell. i can't count how many times i've had to slam on my brakes in just one trip because of people cutting into the passing lane with no blinker, very abruptly, and then slamming on their brakes to a leisurely 50 MPH. even if the entire world was driving behind them, they would not move and continue to look into their mirrors, shocked as to why someone would be honking at them to get the fuck out of the PASSING lane. if i wasn't an alert driver, i'd probably have already died 100 times in the past month alone. |
| _____________________________________________ [May 14,2007 8:14pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] oh, and i must add that all drivers suck, everywhere, no matter where you go. also, try driving in italy, and you'll appreciate driving in new england tenfold. |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2007 8:15pm - atthehaunted ""] Go to Washington DC they drive like fuckin animals. |
| _____________________________ [May 14,2007 8:32pm - mOe ""] i think in MA its a rule/law that if you own a Buick made earlier than 1992, you cant drive any faster than 40 mph |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2007 8:54pm - atthehaunted ""] Or if ur over 60 u have to drive slow or be stopped there's alot of older retards in MA. |
| _____________________________________ [May 14,2007 9:04pm - xanonymousx ""] in florida its like they drive their age. the speed limit's 70 there. |
| _______________________________ [May 15,2007 10:35am - Yeti ""] i cant believe people are still surprised at how horribly everyone drives. |
| __________________________________________ [May 15,2007 11:37am - metal_church101 ""] I can remember a few times people cutting around the rotary the wrong way because it was quicker by the Expo Center off Exit 15 off 93 in Southie (by Columbia Rd.) |

When I took my driving test in Pawtucket, I was driving a car I'd never driven before that day(since it was an automatic). The guy told me to get on the highway and off at the next exit. He then had me park the car on the street in front of a Dunkin' Donuts, I ended up hitting the curb upon doing so. The guy went inside to get a coffee. Before I knew it, the test was over and I had my license. Three hours later I got hit by some old cunt. |

I don't know. There was one instance where there were a couple people in one car going south on 395 about 30 mph in the right lane, but that's the only problem I've had with slow drivers in Connecticut. My main problem is that stretch of I-91 between New Haven and Hartford. I've been passed and glared at while going almost 90 on that highway. Also, the traffic on 95 south from New Haven onward sucks because of all the New York City spillover towns and the fact that the entire part of the state is a dirty marina. |

Southwestern CT is pretty much the shittiest part of New York. And mark, I definitely know about the assholes who refuse to let people pass in the passing lane. i have a way of dealing with them, though. i ride their ass for a minute and if they don't get out of the fucking passing lane, I pass them on the right, get in front of them, and then slow down. i slow WAY down. Then when they inevitably pull into the center lane to pass me, I speed up again. I don't think this has actually convinced anyone to use the passing lane for its intended purpose, but it's awfully therapeutic being an asshole. |
