Stereotype about Boston drivers ahoy

Oh. My. Bat-shit crazy lunatic maniacs in semi-control of two ton death hammers.

How to make a right turn, Boston style:

  1. Maintain your poker face. Don’t slow down.  Don’t make a sideways glance.  DO NOT touch the stick on the left side of the steering column.
  2. Slam on your brakes.
  3. Make a w-i-i-i-d-e turn.

Entering one of the ten thousand roundabouts? Accelerate as hard as possible.  It’s a party, and everyone’s invited.

Don’t let the tourists win: change lanes constantly.  (N.B. “Lanes” are a theoretical construct.  If you believe in the magic invisible fairy lines, they’ll be there.)

If the light turns red, only five more cars are allowed through the intersection.

At least they don’t honk and gesticulate.
