This is New England, and you're shocked that it happened?
I would be willing to bet that if you asked any random number of drivers what the rules of the road were, and what certain signs meant, you would find that most have NO CLUE!
Every day going to and from work I encounter these kinds of drivers.
Ones that hit the brakes for a leaf in the road, ones that shift lanes without ANY consideration for the driver they cutoff, ones that pull onto the highway at 30 mph into a 55 mph lane and stay at 30 mph, but my favorite idiot is the one that has no clue what MERGE and YIELD mean when taking an on ramp onto a highway.
Let's just say that the vast majority of drivers in this region are ingnorant, self-centered tards that got their license but never LEARNED how to drive.
Take solace in the knowledge that with fewer and fewer police patrolling the roads, wreckless driving and speeding are as common as pigeons.
Notice how they had to create LAWS for driving past police vehicles becuase of the increase in stupid driving and drivers? They don't have enough LEO's as it is, and the ones that are working are getting nailed by these driving rejects!
Keep you eyes on the road and watch out for yourself.
Glad no one was hurt!
