It really is bad out there. I don't know if it's honest ignorance or just not giving a crap, but the end result is the same.
I firmly believe it's moon related. I can tell when the full/new moon is coming because the Gloucester drivers start going nuts... Running stops, cutting pedestrians and drivers off, doing the creep (you know what it is), weaving off the road, speeding, etc... Happens like clockwork- started seeing it strong yesterday.
But my biggest pet peeve is the lack of blinker usage. I find it amazing how many MA drivers seem to not know what that little lever next to their steering wheel does. I was driving into work one day, and the entire route I was behind a car that didn't use their blinker once (and there are quite a few turns on the way). He pulled into my building, and I parked nearby... I made sure to tell him in a concerned voice that he should take his car to the shop, because his turn signals were broken. What a dirty look I got
