I used to think the worst drivers were in Boston. Then I moved to RI and realized that Boston drivers can't hold a candle to some of the drivers I see in Providence every day. At least in Boston (and NYC for that matter), you can predict the unbelievably rude and careless maneuvers by the drivers all around you. In Providence, I have people cut in front of me when their turn signal is indicating that they are going to move into the lane on their other side. Almost daily, I get one of the beauties who decides that he or she needs to cross 3 lanes to take exit 24 when it's only 50 feet ahead. And, just this morning, I had a kid cut in front of me without using a turn signal and then threw a banana peel out his window almost hitting a woman at the bus stop next to him. I think he was actually throwing it at her. Thanks for starting the thread, Eben. I too feel better after venting.
