Do you guys run in to crazy drivers? My commute is from North of Boston to South every day and let me tell you I have seen them all. Not sure if they just dont like BMW drivers or what, but I've had F150s aggressively tailgate me in rush hour traffic. This morning justin beiber with his white sunglasses driving a kia hatchback try to run me off the road.

Been driving for 20+ years and ppl are just getting more aggresive.

Stay sharp on 93. There are lots of shit heads out there. Combine that with the volume, using the breakdown lane and it's a recipe for lousy driving.

Rumor has it that you have to flunk an IQ test to get a drivers license in Massachusetts. As for Massholes, next time you visit NH look at the fine print on the sign at the border where it says 'Welcome to New Hampshire'. It says:
Buy your liquor and go home!

Many of the drivers on 93 South in the morning are from New Hampshire.

Most of them are Taxachusetts refugees.
The map may not reflect it but demographically the border now lies just south of Manchester.

Income, yes. But even though NH has no income tax property taxes are no more than in Mass, and there's no sales tax in NH either. The overall cost of living, including housing, is lower in NH as well. There are many reasons why southern NH is now a Boston bedroom community, not the least of which is car insurance. I just got my bill for the next year. $501.00.

Au contraire, we make most of our $$ off sales of beer, liquor, cigarettes and rooms/meals taxes, mainly to out-of-staters, and that includes those from Vermont and Maine. For that matter even with the dismal exchange rate of the Canadian dollar they still buy beer and liquor cheaper in NH than in Quebec. Since all liquor stores are run by the State all the profits line our coffers.

the problem has been all the massholes moving north then feeling guilty about not paying taxes and voting to fuvk it up for the rest of us

but yes if you work in mass and live in NH you pay mass payroll tax. That said if you work from home any amount of that time you can get that money back, you just are giving Taxachusetts an interest free loan.

Rule #1 is stay the hell out of left lane, even if car behind you is going 100mph+

Doesnt apply to rush hour traffic jams obviously.

I just came from driving in EU for a week.....wow, night and day difference in driving manners, feels like 99% of people in MA got their license yesterday..... and nigh and day difference in roads, also feels like all construction workers is some sort of union mafia that shit on roads on purpose to keep the business running and tax money flowing. I have no other explanation....not sure if a road crew can be this brainless and clueless about fixing the roads etc.

The trick to driving around here I find is never use your blinker ahead of time. If you want to change lanes find an opening and as your halfway in the lane THEN use your blinker.

Using your blinker ahead of time will let people know your trying to change lanes and then they will speed up so you can't get in. Its like telling the enemy your game plan.

And I am being 100% serious. As I think "look at this guy, no ones letting them in"

That advice is advising people to be douchebags. Yes, some people speed up. But if you wait just a few seconds, someone will most likely adjust to let you in when they see your turn signal. If you have your turn signal on and nobody let's you in, adjust accordingly. But don't immediately start out as a jerk.

Driving home on 24 north... Douche in a 2000 accord blasting through traffic.
I saw him coming up from behind while I was in the middle lane. 2 car lengths ahead of me there was a car and 2 around my sides. Douche came up beside me with no where to go decides to romp it and cut in front of me and shove his way through to the left lane all in one move... We all slammed on the breaks for the douche to show his skills... I'm glad we all decided to break instead of swerving. If we did it wouldn't of been a fun evening....

What lunchbox said I have as a running joke with my friends who visit and drive here for the first time lol - I'm not originally from MA, but more often than not, when I've tried to use my blinkers in traffic, the person in the lane over will try to cut me off.

My rear right turn signal broke. My friend's comment to me was "Good, now you can be like the rest of us and not use turn signals!" I died
