I’ve finally figured it out – the fundamental difference between Massachusetts drivers (of which I am, sadly, one) and New Jersey drivers (which I have been spending a lot of time around lately, for obvious reasons).
I’ve complained before that there’s something unnerving about going to a part of the country where people drive differently. People complain about it as well, without knowing it – it’s why people from other states are always proclaimed to be too slow, too stupid, or whatever. It doesn’t matter where you’re from; people from other states always suck.
However – in this case, I’m just dealing with the two states I have experience with – Massachusetts and New Jersey. Here’s what I’ve come up with:
New Jersey Drivers are suicidal; Massachusetts drivers are homicidal.
When you think about it, it really works well. I’ll leave it to you to think of all the implications. 😉
I can’t stand crazy drivers. Around here you’ll get a few every now and again. But, hey the least you can do is obey the rules of the road as best as you can.
On the other hand, the best you can do is try to improve the rules and work for more education/training, and make people better drivers (or keep the worst ones off the road). 😉
