I get good service at the Dunkin Donuts around our area too...

Absolutly kevin... my ride to the boat each night is 30 minutes.. give or take... the majority on I 95.... I NEVER see less than 3 troopers... either pulling someone over.. or sitting waiting to pounce...When i get off on Scotland rd. ( or drive it going home @ 1 or 2AM).. I am sure to see a cruiser( local) parked with a customer or laying in wait at least two nights a week... twice on Saturday nights in the last few years, I have had to go through road blocks after mid night to get home.. my town ( Reading) has a cruiser parked( no lights engine running) on haverhill st. at least one night a week... all that said... the average driver today is far more disrespectfull of other drivers than they were 20 years ago... they are also more distracted as well...

I don't want to change the overall tone of this post, but there's also the contingency of new drivers that take drivers ed classes, where they are only taught how to pass the test.
Not all driver's ed schools are guilty of this, but there seems to be quite a few immigrant drivers that seem to have no clue on how to drive.

I also agree that turn signals are used as often as hemmeroid creme, they're both considered a pain in the a$$.

Now with the ineffective law enforcement, new driving laws (texting & cell phones) that will equally be ignored, and ignorant drivers I'm constantly looking out for #1 when driving, because if I don't I can't rely on the law to!!!!

Fisherman Tim, that very last comment is exactly why I have an extra camera in the car with me wherever I go. Ya never know if the "other guy" is going to lie through his teeth, take off or what.

It is extremely difficult for people to use turn signals when they are using thier cell phones, c'mon man.

Using a turn signal in Bahstan is just a sign of weakness. Now the enemy knows your plan and you're screwed.

Try my commute through Boston/Southie and Dorchester. Makes the stuff you guys are talking about look like a school yard of rubber coated tricycles.
I've been doing almost the same commute for 30 years.
