I have seen it over and over, vendors who came here to work and then buying their very first car. Makes for some "interesting" driving!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,121 #12 September 9, 2010 Haven't been to Redmond, but Boston driving does suck. And that's coming from someone who has driven in Rio. Of course, Rio also was challenging to drive in. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Wendy P. I went to Jumptown a couple times and rented a car at Logan. I managed to get turned around a few times in all the construction going on at the time in trying to head to the west out of Boston. I did not mind the traffic circles all that much. The problem here is the variety of driving "styles" from civilized to those that grew up in ox carts. You can take some people out of their carts.. but in many cases you just can't take the ox cart out of them when they are on the roads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #14 September 9, 2010 After riding in Bejing traffic, I have a new understanding of why some foreigners drive the way they do. There are few followed rules back home for them. We must seem downright anal, the way we stay in our own lanes, wear seatbelts, use turn signals, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #22 September 9, 2010 Quote I went to Jumptown a couple times and rented a car at Logan. I managed to get turned around a few times in all the construction going on at the time in trying to head to the west out of Boston. The problem with getting turned around trying to get away from Logan is that you pay a "stupid tax" every time you end up on the wrong (toll) road. I think it cost us an extra $5 just to get headed the right way to Pepperell last year. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

JerryBaumchen I think what he was driving at was people's lack of awareness of other drivers. I got my motorcycle licence in December and can *totally* vouch for the fact that LOTS of people start to switch lanes before they look..
